My new personal development model is updated, and it looks like this:

After doing the analytical work to develop the model, setting my goals is almost anti-climactic, particularly for this year when I’m much more focused, less ambitious. Last year, my goal was to get me close to PolyWogg 4.0 with the theme that 2015 was the year I commit. Instead, it was closer to the year where I should have been committed.

I didn’t get to version 4.0, I’m not even sure I didn’t backslide at times to 1.0. I certainly don’t feel as confident starting the year as I did starting last year. Far less optimistic, far less hopeful, far more prudent, far more realistic. I’m going to battle this year just to maintain my current ground. I might make progress in small areas, but I also don’t want to just “hunker down” as I did for the last few months of 2015. But the only way out of my current funk is to fight my way through to the other side.

And so, to that end, here is my revised tracker for 2016 goals, which I will update for January and February at the end of February.
