My Seasonal Goals, Jul - Sep 2024

This post is an exercise in public accountability and harnessing positive peer pressure for self-motivation.

By 1 October 2024, I am committing to have produced:

1 complete project
2 mini-projects
3 project proposals
4 long-form write-ups

Habits I am committing to that will support this:

Code for >=3h every day
Chat with a peer every day
Have a 30-minute meeting with a mentor figure every week
Reproduce a paper every week
Give a 5-minute lightning talk every week

Would be cool if you had repos/notebooks to share for the paper reproductions!

For sure! Working in public is going to be a big driver of these habits :)
