Setting Ambitious Goals for the Next Quarter as a Programmer
Written on
Chapter 1: Reflecting on Progress
As I conclude the first quarter of 2022, I find it hard to believe how swiftly the year has flown by. With just 90 days remaining until the New Year, I've taken a moment to assess my progress and outline my objectives for the next quarter.
It’s essential to recognize that setting short-term goals can be more effective than long-term ones. The targets I established for the initial three months were largely met, and I commend myself for the dedication I put into achieving them. Now, I'm aiming to set more challenging goals for April, May, and June, with the intention of accomplishing at least half.
Section 1.1: My Goals for the Upcoming Quarter
Here are some of the objectives I plan to pursue in the second quarter of 2022. I encourage you to consider establishing quarterly goals for optimal results:
Subsection 1.1.1: Enhancing My Skills
One consistent goal I include each quarter is to enhance my skills. This time, I plan to deepen my understanding of advanced concepts in Machine Learning and Cloud Computing. Given my current knowledge in these areas, I anticipate that learning these advanced topics will be manageable. I aim to complete this goal within the next two months, allowing me to allocate time to my subsequent objectives.
Section 1.2: Writing a Book
Discussing my aspirations to publish a book brings a mix of excitement and nervousness. After contemplating this goal for quite some time, I have finally resolved to write it over the next three months. I selected the topic in the first quarter of 2022, and now the question is whether I can bring it to fruition. I plan to keep the book concise and engaging, targeting readers who prefer shorter content. It will include personal advice, and I genuinely hope to see this project through successfully. Wish me luck!
Chapter 2: Financial Discipline
In pursuit of success, it’s crucial to focus not only on earnings but also on spending habits. The first quarter of 2022 was somewhat costly for me, and I aim to curb my desires over the next three months. My goal is to save as much as possible and contribute to the emergency fund I established at the beginning of the year.
While I won’t compromise on essentials, I plan to minimize dining at expensive restaurants and reduce unnecessary expenditures. It's uncertain which goals I will achieve, but I intend to revisit this article at the end of June to review my progress.
