Impossible List - 15 May

How far I've come over the course of the last month in regards to the impossible list of goals I've set for myself.

Professional

So my wok into exploring a quoting/invoicing app for under serviced trades is going well, I've got a basic prototype finished and I'm working through an extensive smoke test before finishing my marketing bumff and promoting the app.

Running is still a top priority and I'm working towards training for a 100 mile race in June.

Health / Fitness

Still on track with Ultra training. Still on the band wagon for not drinking this year. Regretting it, but I'm sure my waist will thank me.

I'm not on track for losing a pound a week. I really need to fix the calories I intake when I'm just sitting at my computer working away.

Personal Skills

As I said I'm working on reducing my focus on the book and moving across to a side project to hopefully build a product and make a few bucks on the side. In random news I'm working on another side story. I guess I do like writing stories.

Flickr has 838 photos in it.

Travel / Events

My eyes are always big when it comes to travel, but this year is not heavy in travel. I'm planning a short trip to Lithuania to see Nick Cave play. Then personally I'm looking to climb all of the munors on the Isle of Skye.

I just last month walked across Scotland wild camping s I went which was fun.

No adventures after Lithuania that go out of the country. In the end I didn't want to spend all of my allowance on one trip, particularly when I need to buy so much gear for the longer races I want to run in.

Volunteering / Charity

I'm working on getting the basics set in place for Tayside Re-Users. Beyond that we need to focus on tackling costs and targeting higher sales to help set ourselves up for the future.

We are not on target to make a profit this year, but hopefully 2026/2027 will be our comeback.

Education / Languages

I've been reading a lot, but no focused education has really been looked at lately. Still need to win the lottery to give this too much more focus. I am hoping to read 36 books this year, I'm currently 12 books in.

Financial

Just working hard in my role as Staff Engineer and trying to sort out my shop and put everything into a good status. We are moving forward, but this might take years. I am also starting to look outside Insights a bit and start to plan what my next career steps my take.
