Summary of 2014

The last two months of the year I have focused on finishing the upper floor of our house, so we don’t have to sleep in the living room as we currently do. I goes really well, and a few days ago we finished the floors and painted the walls. With the exception of a few finishing touches and lots of furniture that needs to be moved it is almost ready. I have not really had the time to work on any personal development projects lately.

2014 is coming to an end, and I have had a crazy year consisting of both good and bad things.

• I (With lots of help) have built/renovated a house
• I became the father of an amazing little girl (Noelle) and watched her through the first 10 months of her life.
• I fired an old friend from my company.
• I got a new stakeholder in my company.
• I created Gramfilter.com
• I created Devb.io

Becoming a father

She came out almost a month early, but everything went well and little Noelle is really an amazing girl. I am finding joy in teaching her new things about the world, and she is amazed by every little detail and it makes me appreciate life a little bit more.

I am taking more photos than ever. All of them are of my daughter. I guess everyone on my Instagram feed is tired of seeing them.

Time

I don’t have as much time as I used to have. Just being a father takes up most of my time, both during days and nights. She does not sleep very well, but it could have been worse. :)

I spend every monday home with my daughter, and I usually work until 5pm every day, and then promptly head back to home. Family life feels more important than work.

Focus

The lack of time gives me a lot more focus than I used to have. That is a good thing. Just ‘surfing the web’ is not happening often anymore. I am getting a lot more done in less time.

Looking forward

I am currently compiling a list of goals for 2015. I’ll try to get it posted before new year’s eve.
