In 2019, I achieved my two major goals: changing jobs and keeping up with the blog. I took New Year’s Day to organize what I want to do in 2020.
Goals
This year, I organized my goals (mostly things I want to try) in Trello so that I can update my status and reflect regularly. The number of goals is a round 50. I want to make each one a bit more quantifiable and review them monthly. (This year I really will…)

Key focus areas: health management and Personal.
