I was really proud of myself for getting my personal development goals in on time. By "on time" I mean "before the absolute deadline", whhich was July 31st. We're like, halfway through the year, so it's kinda late to be formulating goals, but whatever!
I put in 5, and 4 of them have different themes aligned to the organisation's strategic goals. I'm proud of that, for a start. I wrote them with well-considered success criteria that account for my individual agency within an 'agile' team. And then I immediately acted on them, scaffolding out the documents I said I'd provide as evidence and planning how to fill them.
My goals overlap in various ways, because (guess what) they're part of a coherent drive and not distinct, discrete objectives. I had one about design / development workflows; I had one about innovating on documentation; and I had one on design system goals.
On Thursday evening I did a thing I thought was good: I figurd out how to solve a component composition problem in Figma and I recorded a screencast about it that I posted to the DS teams channel. NGL I expected to get some feedback on Friday (though I was on flexi).
Well, I'm leaving it up there despite my suspicion that I've deeply embarassed myself. See what happens.
