I have been thinking for a few days how I wanted to do this. My 2018 end-year-review thing. And I had a hard time, too many things happened this year plus I am at putting my thoughts together sometimes. Also I did a poor job at documenting things, in an organized matter, this year. Jumping in between systems and note taking places and my changes on how to journal. Anyway, this my year-end review
Life vents.
2018 started a little out of wack in my personal life.
-
Unemployed, that wasn’t fun. I had lost my previous job late in 2017, therefore I found myself at the beginning of 2018 without a one.
-
Some hard life events involving some personal relationships and depression. But thanks to friends and professional help — and medication — things are looking much better now. With the occasional struggle, of course.
-
Finally sometime in April I found my current job.
-
Baby Luna, definitely the biggest event of the year.
Tech.
As far as my technology, there wasn’t much in 2018. 2017, though, was more eventful.
- The HomePod
- iPhone X🅂
- Apple Watch Series 4
Systems.
This is probably the most chaotic year. As I said before I changed and jumped around many systems which got me to be a little unorganized.
Journal.
I have recently changed the way I journal thus the systems I use too.
- No more Wordpress
- Hosted blog with Micro.blog
