Goals for 2023: First pass 🧪
This year, I've decided to avoid setting goals for the whole year, and rather focus on the first semester. I do have plans for the rest of the year and for the coming years, but I need to focus my attention and energy on short-term goals.
Around my media business, I mainly want to grow this newsletter, and gain more paid subscribers. I'm also looking for sponsors. Next to that, I want to grow my YouTube channel (finally!) and publish videos more regularly (~3 per month for now). We'll see how that goes. To help me publish more regularly, I want to continue working on the Obsidian Publisher plugin for Obsidian. Aside from that, I will work on an Obsidian course to complement my Obsidian Starter Kit. I will also work on a Personal Organization Starter Kit. By the way, my latest article is closely related to that initiative (see below). Finally, I will continue writing articles about Personal Knowledge Management and will dedicate more time to my "Curious Minds" private community.
This year, I will also resume working on SaaS products. I really miss product and software development. More about this soon! My humble goal is to reach 1K MRR during the first half of the year 🚀
Learning and knowledge wise, I intend to keep my reading habits and get better at video editing and design.
I will continue working ~1 day per week as a freelance software/solution architect and will also continue working half-time as an employee.
And that's about it for now! Now it's time to get the ball rolling!
