  • Advance on Khan Academy
    • This has proven difficult to find time for, but I have blocked off the bulk of my free time this week to devote to making some real progress here. Time is getting short!
  • Stay up on Medium
    • I have really done a lot here. This has become my go-to instead of reddit and facebook. I find myself marking a lot of things to come back and re-read. Medium has become a huge part of my regular learning and growing.
  • Advance on HackerRank
    • I haven’t made time for this. I have been too busy lately and I probaly will be for some time, but it is still something important that will become more important once I complete my Khan Academy work.

  • Eat Less, Eat Better, Drink More Water
    • I feel like I have accomplished a lot here.

    • I haven’t been kayaking for months. Hopefully I will find time for this in the coming weeks, but I really need to get a hard kayak before that because mine has a leak =/

    • I started this, but it seems not to be quite on the same scale as the rest of these issues.
  • Take a discovery flight
    • This has gone to the back burner but assuming everything with work turns out how I want, this will likely happen soon.
  • Sail
    • It has gotten a little chilly, but I’d still like to try to stay in the habit when there is time. Hopefully in the next few weeks if things slow down.
  • More Amateur Radio
    • I have been engaging with content around this topic but have not actually done any radio since burning man. It has gone to the back burner with the chaos around work and school.
