Looking Back at 2024 and Setting Goals for 2025

As 2024 comes to a close, it's a great time to reflect on the achievements and set new goals for the upcoming year. While I cherish the journey of growth, learning, and creativity this year, I prefer to keep some of my accomplishments and aspirations personal. However, I'm excited to share a few highlights and goals that have shaped my path.

Achievements in 2024

52 Articles in 52 Weeks

In 2024, I committed to writing articles every week (I wrote 52 articles!), sharing insights and knowledge on various topics. This consistent effort not only honed my writing skills but also allowed me to connect with a wider audience.

I started learning Rust and shared my learning journey through detailed articles.

New Job: Community Manager at Vue School

A significant achievement this year was finding a new job, which marked a pivotal moment in my career. This opportunity has allowed me to apply my skills in new ways and continue my professional development!

Thank you Vue School for this opportunity! Its been 2 months in this new job and Ive already felt like I achieved many great things!

Goals for 2025

YouTube πŸ“Ή

Eleftheria Batsou - YouTube

It is said the best way to learn something is by teaching it to others, this channel tries to explain my thoughts about web development and web design by small yet interesting tutorials. Eleftheria is a Community Manager with a coding background keen on UX research. Passionate about public speaking and sharing.

Looking ahead to 2025, I am excited to embark on new adventures. One of my primary goals is to restart my YouTube channel, creating engaging and informative videos. I plan to dive into learning Vue.js , which will be essential for my new role at Vue School. This opportunity comes after a significant change, as I was laid off from my previous job along with 50% of the company (while learning Rust) However, this transition opens doors to new possibilities and growth!

Conferences 🎀

Traveling to different countries for conferences is also on my agenda. These experiences will undoubtedly enrich my personal and professional life. My plan though is to travel way less than the previous years due to some personal reasons.

Health and Fitness πŸ’ͺ

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a goal I set for myself every year. In 2025, I aim to keep up with my routine of going to the gym 3-4 times a week and focus on eating healthier. This commitment to fitness and nutrition is essential for my overall well-being and helps me stay energized and motivated!

Final Thoughts

As I step into 2025, I am filled with optimism and determination. This year will be about embracing change, pursuing passions, and continuing to inspire others through my work. Here's to a year of new beginnings and endless possibilities!

Write down below what are your goals for 2025 and your achievements in 2024!
