I’m not supposed to be doing this again, but I figure it’s something that gets me into the mood for the holidays, and next year.
Things this year aren’t as jam-packed as last year, but I still do have a few things on my plate. I do have some travel the first week of the month, but why am I doing this? Well, some of the things in the Ep. with Susan Cain on EconTalk kind of spoke to some of what I do.
Even after a disgustingly-long day, it’s something I can do to kind of even out my head, as well as stay on track.
A lot of what I’m going to do this year is really recycled stuff from a particularly-low point in life, 2017, but I do have a few other things I want to write agouti.
We’ll see how it all goes, I suppose. There are a few blank spaces left, so I’m soliciting suggestions.
But, off we go. Let’s see what happens.
All that said, I really ought to consider not doing this next year. Fifteen straight years is a bit of an accomplishment, I suppose. Maybe I’ve stuck to this to keep some connection to what life was before everything went to hell.
Obviously, that started immediately after I finished the first month; my dad died. But this was something I did right after getting married, so that, too, fits into major life milestones.
Do I miss having things better set out for me before I started? Yeah, a bit. But I’m not trying to go back to then.
A particularly uninspiring politician is running on a general saying of “not going back.”
Okay, but when what you’ve got is completely screwed up, you do need to review how you got to that place.
I understand, Lessons Learned aren’t good Agile practice, along with things like proper engineering, but…..
Do I apply lessons from previous years to the next effort? Yes.
Let’s see how it goes.
