in retrospect, this has been another great year. I followed the same plan: get in really good shape, improve my professional life, open up for a richer social life. In that order. Build the foundation first.
I am healthy and in good shape, training hard most days of the week: swimming, box, spinning and so on. But every workout is it’s own reward. There are no ambitious plans to compete in anything. I prefer dabbling in a few select things, progressing slowly and enjoying my moments of discovery.
I work for my own company, doing things like mobile development, Open Data API:s and hands-on project management. So how do you maintain a professional edge and find interesting people? There are lots of answers to that question. But for me, managing small strategic projects for large customers has always been a great learning experience. And I have never regretted using Open Source and dynamic languages as much as I can.
All work and no play? Sometimes it feels that way. How do you find time for reflection and all those things that happen slowly and take time? One moment at a time, I guess. There has been many small but wonderful moments this year and that’s all anyone can ask for.
By the way, I just found a marvellous quote on Twitter. It’s in Swedish, but I’ll make a rough translation:
New Year’s Eve is the most beautiful day of the year. Everything is either too late or has not begun yet.
