The Tshegofatso

We are half way through the year. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was writing down my goals for 2017. So much has happened already and I'm almost done with my final year of high school. Everything is happening way too quickly. I thought it would be a good idea to slow down and look back at my goals for the year. I still have time to make things happen.

3 Blogposts per week :

I haven't been very good at this but I think it's very possible if I use my time more effectively.

Put my HTML and CSS skills to use:

I hurts me to say that I haven't done anything interesting since completing my HTML and CSS course.

Make at least 3 video games:

If I make 1 game every 2 months starting now I can still make it happen.

Upload at least 1 video per week:

I haven't uploaded 1 video a week but I feel like 2017 is the year that I've uploaded the most videos and we are only half way through the year. So, I guess I'm making some progress.

Make more zines:

I'm actually working on something exciting at the moment which I will announce in a month or two.

Learn how to make animations :

I still haven't done a single thing that has to do with animation and it is breaking my heart.

Draw some comics:

Yet another thing on the list that I still have to start on.

Draw something every week:

I haven't been drawn as often as I would like and I need to change this is as soon as I can.

Read at least 3 books per month:

I think I've only read about 3 books this year and this makes me wonder what I actually did with all the time I've had.

Make some money and save:

I have some ideas but now it's time to get the ball rolling.

Improve my photography:

I haven't done a lot of photography this year but it's something I really enjoy. I'm saving up for a new camera which is really exciting.

Make an app:

I'm actually working on this at the moment. I've still got a lot to learn but I guess slow progress is better than no progress.

Get my driver's license:

I'm writing my learner's license test next week so I guess I'm one step closer.

Focus on my school work:

I definitely haven't been doing this one and I definitely need to start.

Learn how to manage my time:

Woah.

Do more DIYs:

I'm going to start doing DIYs on my YouTube channel soon. Hitting two birds with one stone.

Have some fun and be happy:

I'm always striving to do what makes me happy. So, I guess this is always a work in progress but so far things have been good this year despite the bumps along the way.

Looking back at this list was a wonderful idea and it made me realise how unproductive I've been. It also given me some inspiration to get things done. Let's do this!
