    2023 Evaluation: Item #7 → Job Seek

    The final post in this series. “Job-Seek – I need & want to work again, so will be keeping my eyes open for interesting opportunities. I love Product Management, and it’ll be the primary focus of the search. But, I’m really open to anything, so if you come across something interesting, hit me up → https://www.linkedin.com/in/timgillons/ “ Grade = C If…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #6 → Craft

    Continuing this series. “Craft – Gonna prep a story for https://themoth.org/ and think I already have a good baseline one for it 🚲🕊️“ Grade = F I got this book to help guide me, and quickly learned that if I wanted the story to be Moth-worthy, this was going to take much more work than I anticipated. I couldn’t…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #5 → Read

    Continuing this series. “Read – A book a week. Join me at https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/4223499-eyeintim“ Grade = F 🎉 I hated this goal, almost immediately. I love reading books, and this made it feel like something I had to do, rather than wanted to do. Also, I have no issue with ditching a book when I don’t like it, and…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #4 → Recommend

    Continuing this series. “Recommend – I’m doing a daily recommendation thing over at https://snackpantry.com/“ Grade = C- I somewhat evaluated this one this post, but I admit I don’t 100% know what I’m doing with this SnackPantry.com. I finally figured out a good cadence: one post a day each weekday here, and then send those all bundled up…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #3 → Write

    Continuing this series: “Write – Blogging daily about both of the above at https://eyeintim.com/. Mirroring & shoutouts to the posts will be at https://twitter.com/eyeintim & https://www.instagram.com/eyeintim/ “ Grade = C This goal seems unexciting compared to #1 & #2, but it was an important one for me in 2023, so I’m disappointed I didn’t earn a higher grade. It looks like I…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #2 → Build

    Continuing this series: “Build – I’m going to build a small, daily habit-tracking web app using no-code tools. The project is mainly to independently build & learn, but the goal is to eventually sell subscriptions. Lots more to come on this one, especially since I’ll be following the ‘building in public’ mindset .“ Grade = A- Along with…

    2023 Evaluation: Item #1 → #walkabout

    A year ago, knowing I was going to be taking some time off from formally working, I posted “Seven Things I’m Going to Do in 2023”. I’d never written a declaration like this, but it felt good, and it definitely helped motivate me through the year. It was super ambitious, though, and I in no…
