Resolutions: A Review

So 9 (ok, so more like 10) months in and lets see how I’m doing on that sketch:

Reduce single use plastics etc.

We moved house in August and, happily, our new local authority has a wider range of what it will take for recycling. Reuse is better though and I do try. I’ve also managed to locate a nearby shop that does refills and supplies sustainable and environmentally conscious products.

Regular Exercise & Eating Well

I manage three times a week at a Crossfit gyms as I find the variety and atmosphere works well for me. I’d like to squeeze in one more session to mainly work on skills and mobility.

Diet is fine. I don’t track, but maybe I should!

Career Focus

Well, with an end date looming at the end of November, CV and LinkedIn have definitely been spruced and are under continuous review. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-oglesson/

Lack of both work and personal time means I haven’t quite got my teeth into (literal) personal (web) development, though I have have managed to complete courses on Pluralsite and LinkedIn in TypeScript, React.js, node, express and web pack. Applying them is a completely different matter.

Call my Mum more

I think so? It’s been tough with a house move. Always feel like it’s never enough and now appreciate the benefits of seeing my grandparents on a weekly basis growing up.

Travel Anxiety

Has definitely improved due to a number of things but one primary reason is the lengthier daily commute that includes a chunk of M and A roads plus other strategies for quelling worry.

Invite people over more

Tricky when we’ve moved further from a lot of people and still have a degree of unboxing and organising to do. That might be one for next year!

Do more knitting and/or reading

I possibly find knitting easier to get in to, but I have certainly be doing more of that. Made a hat for a friend and am making some cardigans for the spate of babies born to friends this year! That’s a new skill level for me as well and I love having a hobby that’s useful.
