My goals for 2026
With how disastrous 2025 turned out to be, it’s a tad difficult to think ahead for what I really want to do for 2026. Yet, there’s a small phrase that seems to really click for me as a theme right now: “persist and flourish.”

2025 - A year in review
This year was certainly... unexpected. While I anticipated a more rocky environment, I didn’t expect the current state of the world to fall into more sorts of chaos, no thanks to our current political climate in the United States. But I’d be doing myself a disservice if I ignored the smaller wins.

Just finish something - my goals for 2025
Setting tangible goals in 2024 helped with making them more achievable, compared to a vague theme left to interpretation. Likewise, treating these goals as “nice to achieve” rather than a “requirement of the year” helped ensure I somehow met these goals without the fear of not meeting strict deadlines. With

2024 - A year in review
This year has been an incredibly awkward one. I can’t say that I’m particularly fond of this year, but there’s much to be learned from.

Returning to the core - my 2024 goals
When things are left to interpretation, goals and ideas get muddied, and it’s difficult to determine whether I’ve made any real progress outside the concrete ideas I had. This year, I want to return to my core and set some tangible goals I’d like to attain.

2023 - A year in review
2023 has been an interesting year for me. I wanted to focus on maintaining the various gardens of my life, such as app development, physical health, and mental/social/emotional health. I feel that I’ve done a decent job overall, though some areas could’ve better improved.

Becoming The Gardener - 2023 Goals
When I established my goals for last year, I had taken a different direction and declared it my “Snow Leopard” year. I won’t echo my reflections on this from yesterday’s post, but I did appreciate how open-ended I made that particular goal. So, this year, I’m making a broader set of goals again.

2022 - A year in review
When I started writing my goals out for 2022, I had thought it would’ve been my “Snow Leopard” year, where I focus more on refinement and general improvement rather than big, ambitious (but realistic) goals.

2021 - A Year In Review
2021 trailed in with the destruction and mayhem 2020 offered, and it didn’t seem like it’d get any better at first. Despite these trials and tribulations, I’d like to think that 2021 turned out better for me than 2020.

Let's make it happen, 2021!
So long, 2020, and good riddance. I hope 2021 will be better than the dumpster fire that was the previous year, and I hope to accomplish some more things this year. Earlier in December, I posted a short list on Ko-fi with some goals I had in mind. Since then, I’ve thought of a couple extra goals.

2020: A Review
Okay, so that was a thing… 2020 really threw us in for a loop.

A new decade with new goals
It’s finally here: 2020! The start of a new decade means it’s time for me to make some new goals for this year! While I don’t necessarily set new year’s resolutions, I do set some goals since they seem to lead me to completely new experiences, even if I don’t quite hit the mark.
