A new month, new goals. You might be wondering what else I can get
into\...nothing. I\'m pretty tapped out on how much I can do at this
point in time which isn\'t a bad thing at all. Let\'s go to why your
here tho\...
Changes Since December
----------------------
I started the pet app (which I\'ll be calling Pet Log), but I haven\'t
put time into getting it beta ready. Why? Something about using My Car
really has me wanting to focus on it. On linkedin I announced I even
changed my Night and Weekends project to My Car. My true blocker here is
figuring out if I want a paid version and what that looks like. Other
than that the year ended on a pretty positive note.
2023 Goals {#2023-goals}
----------
Now this might be a lot so let me make a small list and then have some
longer form explanation.
### List
- Principal or Lead title at work
- Finish Nights & Weekend program
- My Car to 250 active users
- Pet Log launched and 100 active users
- 365 3d prints
- 30 blog post
- Maybe start a new business
- Container God
As you might have noticed these are all goals that I can talk about on
this here blog. Nothing wrong with that either since my biggest goals
are super personal and honestly\...I don\'t need everyone to know.
Anyway I\'m really REALLY focused on pushing my career to new heights.
Titles don\'t mean much to me but they mean a lot to industry and I\'m
starting to feel like the work I do deserves more recognition.
You\'ll notice that all the mobile app things are personal. That\'s
because I think (keyword think) I want to be serious about that being my
hobby. I\'ve been on the fence for years but in my holiday break I
really thought about the difference in endorphins I get on personal app
projects vs work.
Finally I\'ll talk a bit more about the possible new business. I had
Backpack Media since 2017. I felt like I was always trying to figure out
what I wanted to do and nothing really felt right. I did [System Summer
School](https://aunteerik.com/sss22w/) last year and everything just
clicked for me. I would like a business where I\'m consulting (or
contracting) for a few months at a time. This give me a lot more control
over my time and type of projects. I think taking the time out to figure
out what this looks like will be best for me and my ideal lifestyle.

Hope you enjoyed the update and feel free to hit me up to tell me what
you think or what your goals are.
PS. I know in previous post I mentioned having comments or getting them
back. Well I don\'t like the ads, security behind any of these 3rd party
libs so I\'ll just never have them again. Sorry about that.
