My Goals for 2013 and retrospective of Goals for 2012

The new year is coming. As usual, at this time I set goals for the upcoming year. Having my goals written down keeps me motivated and focused on reaching them.

My goals for 2012 were:

• Drop weight to 82 kg (from 94 kg)
• Eat less sugar
• Once per week read “good code”
• Read at least 15 books (various genres)

How did it go? Well, I’m fairly satisfied with meeting my goals. The only one I did not meet was dropping weight… The rest was fairly simple. I’m proud that I could accomplish what I scheduled for the year! I have experienced many times, that long term goals were forgotten as soon as you focus on short term goals…

Besides that I have also:

• Passed MS beta exams regarding Win8 programming. (one exam failed)
• Pushed forward my company (TBA :) )
• Taken part in IT conferences (blog posts are here: DevDay 2012)
• Joined .NET community in Wroclaw -> WrocNet
• Taken many courses online (Coursera, Udacity, etc.)

So it looks like I did much this year :)

Anyway. Goals for 2013 will be bit more difficult, at least in my opinion. Below is the newest list:

• Raise company!
• Practice German skills
• Spend more time with family
• Drop weight! (Déjà vu !?!?!?)
• Give a session on .NET group or somewhere else.

There are also tasks that I want to continue to do, like reading books or skip sugar from my diet.

I encourage all of you to write down your goals and share them over the Internet!
