2014 in Review and Goals for 2015
Wow, what a year 2014 was. It had many ups and downs but also a lot of great accomplishments and moments. I'm happy to have completed so many goals this year, but I want to continue my progress in 2015. My to-Do list for 2015 is big and quite venturesome.
2014 in Review
- One of my goals for 2014 was moving all of my websites to Digital Ocean. This was probably the start of many other projects I undertook. I am still thrilled with the performance and Digital Oceans support and features.
- NGNIX, but I also have it running as a load-balanced proxy in Docker, which was a massive goal for me. Not only did I convert all my websites to NGINX, but I also had it running as a load-balanced proxy in Docker.
- At the beginning of last year, Docker was still relatively new. I wanted to learn as much as possible about the technology and build several projects with it. I not only built all my new projects with Docker but also gave a couple of Docker presentations.
- I challenged myself to three Startups before Jan 5, 2015. So far, I have completed two, and the third one is almost complete. I'm very happy with the challenge and will be challenging myself with more for 2015.
- I should attend more German classes. My level of German has vastly improved, but I still have a long way to go.
- Fitness was a huge goal for me in 2014. Unfortunately, the summer was rained out, so I was not able to get on my Mountain Bike as much as I would've liked, but I hit the gym frequently, and I'm happy with the results.
2015 Goals
Since writing the article about building 3 startups, I found it was extremely motivating to publish my goals. So here it goes again for 2015.
- Ride the Zugerberg Classic Mountain Bike race.
- I will continue my fitness regime and start counting calories, limiting myself to 2750 per day, until I reach my target weight and waist size.
- Write 3 blog posts per week.
- Learn and Master Cloud Foundry
- Take online courses in Finance and Trading
- Take online refresher courses in Javascript.
- Launch more projects. As I started the 3 Startup challenge, I want to continue launching new products & services.
- Build more projects with Docker
- Continue improving my German. This seems to be a never-ending goal
I'm already looking forward to tackling this list. I hope you make 2015 a memorable one!
