Regarding technical topics: getting more into React, looking at Gatsby.js, and then there's the somewhat elusive goal of "getting better at design" ... oh, and maybe attempt to do a project with proper TDD from beginning till end.
The other half would be more about marketing (which includes building a proper website), blogging, business development (as a freelancer), stuff like that. And finally start contributing to OSS on a somewhat more serious level.
Yeah I know it's (too) ambitious. I think I should prioritize and decide which goals I REALLY want to go after. Let me give it a try:
1) Marketing & business dev because that's what potentially puts money in the bank
2) React (and Gatsby as a vehicle) because of the demand in the market
3) Blogging and OSS
1 and 2 are "bread and butter" which at this stage is getting kind of urgent. And 3 is the somewhat more 'idealistic' thing where I'd be trying to give something back to the community, I feel that one is important for balance.
I'm finding that I'm chasing too many things and getting overwhelmed. Having to write them all down and just 'pick one' to start tackling helped prioritise the ever growing list :)
Yeah a long laundry list doesn't work, it's intimidating. If I have a set of goals that I know are feasible then it increases the likelihood that I'm actually doing something about it. As always, 3 is a good number.

Those are some lofty goals. Do you ever document them and put some timeframes around what you will do first?

Looks great, thanks for sharing.
