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

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.

Looks great, thanks for sharing.

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.
