Final Grade
Last post in this series. Ok, let’s recap all my 2024 Commitment grades: That averages out to about a D-. Ouch. Either I’m a very tough grader, or I had a wildly unproductive 2024. I think the former is somewhat true, but the latter is definitely true. Now I know why in my gut 2024 felt…

2024 Evaluation: Item #6 → Community
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #6: Community → I’m going to get involved with some sort of organized, IRL group this year. My default is solitary, and without being forced into any office, the default rules. I really am a better version of myself when I’m around other folks, so I need to force myself…

2024 Evaluation: Item #5 → Learn
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #5: Learn → I’m constantly reading & learning on the internet, but it’s unfocused & unproductive. So, I’ll be formalizing my learning this year by taking a class/course, most likely online. I have no idea in what subject — figuring that out will be part of the fun. Grade =…

2024 Evaluation: Item #4 → Create
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #4: Create → I really enjoyed that process of building Did You Do it Today, and have some other ideas for web apps. So, I’ll be building out another one, using Bubble.io again. Grade = F+ I created no new apps this year. I was focused on other things (see below). So why…

2024 Evaluation: Item #3 → Write
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #3: Write → I’ll be posting something every day here on eyeintim, and some of that writing will continue to feed into every weekend’s Snack Pantry. Grade = C I posted 270 times here on eyeintim in 2024, which means 74% of the time, hence the grade. C seems like a…

2024 Evaluation: Item #2 → Earn
This post is continuing this series. Commitment #2: Earn → I need to generate income this year. Hopefully it will be independently, and ideally via Did You Do it Today? & Snack Pantry, but I’ll continue to be open to any interesting opportunity that comes my way. Grade = D– It was actually kinda dumb to have this as…

2024 Evaluation: Item #1 → Sell
I quit my “normal” job at the end of 2022 to make a go at earning money independently in 2023. To give me focus & discipline, I committed to doing Seven Things, then graded my performance after the year ended. Having these commitments really helped, so I repeated the process and committed to Six Things…

Six Things I’m Going to Do in 2024
I declared my five 2024 goals here. Thinking about it more, however, and contrary to learning that it’s counter-productive to commit to too many things, I’m going to add a sixth one: Community → I’m going to get involved with some sort of organized, IRL group this year. My default in life is solitary, and…

Five Things I’m Going to Do in 2024
I really enjoyed publicly declaring goals for 2023, and then evaluating my year-end performance towards them. Seven was too many, though, which was part of the reason my grades were so low in many of them. So I’m committing to five this year: Sell → I spent last year building & launching, Did You Do…
