Goals

I love a good list, but I find myself writing the same ones over and over. The lists rarely get finished or they get thrown out because of the clutter they create.

So here I am, trying something new. How could I throw a list away if I make it harder? I can’t peel it off the screen and toss it in the trash. Sure I could never look at this page again, but then what would be the point of this website? I’m not only learning how to create everything you’re looking at here, but I’m learning how to better myself too. My hope is that adding this list here will encourage me to want to check things off because I’ll see progress as it’s happening.

Being self-taught is not easy, especially when you’re still unsure of so much or the more you open your mind the more you want to fill it. I have a vague idea of where I’d like to go in the tech world, but I know I’m headed in the right direction. I’m excited to see where I end up.

Things I hope to Learn

With all the ideas tumbling around my head, I also find myself googling the same things repeatedly. So, when I come across something I think I’ll need to remember because I’m not at that point yet, I’ll throw them here until they’re needed. The more I learn, the more I find out I need to learn more. It does give me something to look forward too and motivation to keep going. The possibilities are endless with programming!

Being new to all of this, I enjoy looking at unique websites to inspire me to keep moving forward. I like to see all the things I COULD create, and dive into the inspect to see how it all could be re-created by me.
