As we enter a new decade I've started to pay attention to what I actually want to start getting out of my life, and I want to use this as an opportunity to set some goals that I can aim for. Both to have something to always work towards, but also grow and learn more about what I want to get out of / give back to software development, and my life in general.

Goals for this year

• Start writing blog posts, at least 1 per month. I really want to use them as an opportunity to gain a more thorough understanding of a topic.
• Learn a new language (might revisit Spanish, but it'll probably be another programming language)
• Work on my Jeep again
• Take a deep dive into a technical area (thinking JS engines / V8)
• Try yoga

There's more that I want to accomplish though and I want to, but I know they aren't likely to happen in the next year, so I'm also making a list of goals for the new decade.

• Lead a development team
• Speak at a conference
• Do an Ironman
• Travel as much as possible
• Mentor more / learn how to do it better
• Grow a personal business

Goals are a bit of a new thing for me so we'll see how it goes actually following through with these, but it's worth a shot!
