OK I know it’s pretty far in to the new year. And in keeping my vow to regularly have blog posts I have been cheating a bit by basically re-posting content. So I am going to reflect on my 2016 goals and see what I can build upon and start anew.

First, let’s look at 2016 goals at the beginning of the year. I think that there are a few of theses I can revisit and try to accomplish in 2017.

Learn programs

• Sketch

Read books

• “Design of Everyday Things”
• “Checklist Manifesto”
• “How to Get People to do Stuff”

Write blog posts

• I am shooting to post 25 original blog posts in 2017

Ok so that’s a good reasonable start. I want to add a few more in 2017.

• Become and “expert” in some discipline concerning UX. (Even if I am the only one who thinks I am an expert. ha!)
• Mock up pages in Sketch to enhance portfolio
• Continue to grow online presence in Twitter
• Learn Sketch well enough to mock up several interfaces to expand portfolio and skill set (yep, I wrote that twice)
• Grow my UX network in Dallas
• Learn more about Service Design
