Well, how did I get here?
In 2020, I purchased a home in Dallas, left my agency job of 3 years to work for a Fortune 100 company, released a bunch of new music and added a golden retriever to my family.
In 2021, I began my slow path to becoming a software engineer, released a new EP, and started making plans with my girlfriend to move closer to the mountains.
In 2022, I learned Ruby, PostgreSQL, Sinatra and the fundamentals of back-end engineering. The economy got wonky, so we postponed moving and shifted our efforts into ruthlessly saving money for future plans.
2023 Priorities
- My partner + our dog
- Learn JavaScript
- Write/Record LP
- Travel More^
- Ruthlessly Guard Time*
- Take More Pictures
This list reminds me where to align my values, which helps minimize the noise in my life.
^ We are planning many more trips this year to places we’ve never been. At least one international trip too.
* I plan on saying ‘No’ to more things this year: Freelance work, projects I’m not interested in, etc. to focus on big goals.
