Let’s check in where I’m at with my 2022 goals. As much as possible, I’ll try to post a weekly update. Also helps maintain commitments (and doubles as a blog post!)

6/8 Goals are **Green**, one is yellow, and one is red.

_Good progress on (most) fronts! Stayed (mostly) on track._

**Progress**

*   \[Triathlon\] Wrapped up a training block and got some much-needed rest. Feel much stronger and fit than prior to block. Did my swim test today and saw a 14 second improvement on my [critical swim speed](https://tritrainingharder.com/blog/2013/10/swim-testing-critical-swim-speed.html#:~:text=Critical%20Swim%20Speed%20is%20the,a%20prolonged%20period%20of%20time.) since this training block started early December.
    
*   \[Lose weight\] Lost 3.3lbs on Slow Carb diet…technically. I travelled to Buffalo on Friday so technically didn’t get a Saturday morning weigh in. But I’ll take Friday-Friday comparison and feel excited.
    
*   \[Lake house\] Another $200 towards Lake House fund, but after Buffalo trip am trending $560 over budget this month.
    
*   \[Crypto Project\] Collaborated with team to launch first [LinksDao](https://linksdao.io/) major update. Still spending 80% of my web3 emphasis there and loving it.
    
*   \[Crypto Project\] Posted second video for my own project uiux.gg (site forthcoming), a [“teardown” video (need better word, it’s too negative) of HumanDAOs onboarding.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M0kE_UG4dw&t=69s)
    
*   \[Blogging\] Wrote…1 blog post. Not 5 but more than 0! Continues to be a risk. I need to get over quality and just go for quantity for a while until I build a better habit.
    
*   \[Learn Chinese\] Broke my streak during travel for Fluent Forever. NFL playoffs is serious business y’all. Back on the wagon tonight.
    
*   \[Read future books\] 23% through Ray Diallo’s [_The Changing World Order_](https://www.amazon.com/Changing-World-Order-Nations-Succeed/dp/1982160276/?maas=maas_adg_B0DF71C19F94DE6B0996A4872DB7D9DE_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas). Need to finish book by EOW to stay on track for my yearly goal.
    

**Plans**

*   \[Triathlon\] [Bike FTP test](https://www.trainerroad.com/blog/new-ramp-test-makes-ftp-testing-more-efficient-and-less-stressful/) on Wednesday and 20 min run pace test on Friday. Then a week off for my birthday before starting a 12-week training block leading to my first official sprint triathlon (and first of three I have planned this year).
    
*   \[Lose weight\] Keep on the four hour body baby! I technically will delay my cheat day this Saturday until next Wednesday. I have a body fat test on Tuesday and my birthday is on Wednesday so need the extra cushion.
    
*   \[Lake House\] Thinking through deploying my savings in some higher-yield APY defi staking. Need to be more aggressive here to stay on track. A
    
*   In the next two weeks, I’ll go to my favorite local Magic The Gathering Store and talk to the owner. He should know someone who would be willing to be a mentor (necessary step to becoming a level 1 judge)
    
*   \[Crypto Project\] Plan to invest ~20 hours/week in LinksDao for the time being.
    
*   \[Crypto Project\] Plan on releasing an onboarding “teardown” (again, need more positive word) on Thursday for FoxFam community Discord
    
*   \[Learn Chinese\] Starting a new streak tonight.
    
*   \[Read future books\] Finish [_The Changing World Order_](https://www.amazon.com/Changing-World-Order-Nations-Succeed/dp/1982160276/?maas=maas_adg_B0DF71C19F94DE6B0996A4872DB7D9DE_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas) this week instead of turning the TV on…
    

**Problems**

*   \[Blogging\] I’m struggling to do this multiple times a week. It’s not that I don’t have any ideas, but investing the time to write has not been top-of-list given Triathlon, LinksDAO, and travel for Bills game.
    
*   \[Level 1 magic judge\] Made no progress here. It’s way lower on my priority list. I didn’t even PLAY magic this week because the snow made travel difficult.
