Main Goals this week

  • My main goal is to make sure I'm ready to start a new role at a new company next week in my IT career life
  • Second is to make sure I release at least 2 blogs on Dev.To this week
  • Go to the gym twice as I'm in between jobs for this week
  • Going to Brussels on Thursday for a long weekend so going to add having a Belgian Waffle and Belgian Fries to this too

Cook at least one nice meal for myself which isn't a takeaway (We havin' roast chicken, mashed potatoes and greens tonight)

Really nice to have goals

  • Finalise some tweaks to my CSR Generator UI and make it a little less defaulty looking
  • Write one article in pure markdown even if I don't release it immediately
  • Get a burger in Brussels
  • See the Atomium

Practice some markdown by writing this post

My goal is to establish a good rhythm. I was out of town last week so I need to make sure I get back to my "normal" routine.

It's a challenge when you get off of your routine. Usually I'll do some preprep on these posts. I'll mark stuff off as I do it. I didn't do that last week so I had to remember what I actually did.
My schedule is already off and it's just Monday.
