I got 2 main things I'm up to this week...

For work, I need to group up with various DEV moderators who have agreed to help us test a new spam fighting tool.

For non-work, I'm needing to go to my property where we recently took down various trees and use a wood splitter to break down the trunks into manageable logs that will fit into a wood furnace. Then, I'm needing to gather all these logs together and cover them up in some way, so that they'll be in good shape and last until we move in.

I have a few goals this week.

Get a skeleton/template done for my Portfolio/Personal website. I have been procrastinating on this a little bit and I really need to try and buckle down this week and get at least a template done. I'm struggling to come up with a design I like. I make page, get about 40-50% done with it, and then for some reason or another, decide I hate it and start over.
Finish more of the freecodecamp WebDev course. I am currently on the 3rd lesson of the first module. I am making slow progress on it. I am trying to do one lesson a day. I am trying to learn as much as I can to eventually land me either a front-end or full stack job. Right now I am on learning CSS and trying to implement it more into my HTML.
Finish my GitHub README. Much like with the website, I have procrastinated and I need to try to get it done this week. I have the same problem here as I do with my website lol

I didn't know they were goals but, I did kind of finish them. With the help of a tutorial, I finished my first completed website using HTML and CSS. If everything goes well, I would like to complete at least one of my design goals (website or readme).

I've posted my success elsewhere so I won't repeat them here.

Client-wise, I can't really detail it here, can I? I would like to make progress, upgrade the infrastructure from python 3.7 and a bunch of modules frozen 3 years ago to the latest. Write a bunch of tests and get a step closer to actual deployment.
Public-wise: I plan to post 2-3 times a day here on DEV and daily on the Code Maven site. Including videos as well.
I'd also like to send 1 PR a day (on average) to get more people to use CI. (articles about this are included in the ones above)
