Every year, I try to make some New Years commitments, and I’ve written about those here<\/a><\/strong>. One of the activities I’ll probably engage in on a monthly basis is setting some deliverables to get done that month.<\/p>\n There are several reasons for doing this, but in the spirit of going pro<\/i><\/strong>, I want to start building a good body of work now. The reasons for this are financial and professional, but also for my own self gratification. I’m a doer<\/strong> and achiever<\/strong> by nature, and if I’m not seeing consistent progress on something, I can easily get discouraged.<\/p>\n Instead of seeing how far I’ve come, I only see how far I have to go still. Not good.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n To combat this, and to state it all publicly, for January, these are my basic plans:<\/p>\n I’m watching\u00a0on doing at least two of these courses on my current Lynda.com playlist<\/a><\/strong>, maybe all four, for the theme I’ll be working on:<\/p>\n I’m planning on builing a simple blogging theme (which I’d want to run on this site) that utilizes Sass, Bower and Grunt\/Gulp for building the theme itself. I’ll want to submit this to the WP repository eventually, so I might be building it from the Underscores<\/a><\/strong> starter theme, but maybe from FoundationPress<\/a><\/strong> or Sage<\/a><\/strong> (from Roots).<\/p>\n Currently, here’s what I have for the project:<\/p>\n I’ve got two plugins in the works, one for WooCommerce<\/a><\/strong> from my most recent project, and another for MailPoet<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n I’ve been working on exercise and projects for FreeCodeCamp.com<\/a><\/strong>, and I’m trying to finish the Front End Developer certification by the end of the month. It should be doable, but there’s plenty left to do before the end of the month. Currently, I have five more to complete<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nQuick Learning on Lynda<\/h2>\n
