As promised, here is my progress update on my OKRs. Without about 8 weeks to go, I’d say success has been good but less than hoped for. I can’t really pin it all on COVID-19, while that has been very disruptive I don’t think it’s really impacted these goals. What working from home for two months has done has shifted my computer work to some shop work, since I am at home for longer periods more since I have no commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Scoring is simple unweighted average of the component pieces, rounded to 0.1<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve tinkered here and there but am not sure I’m going to have something running in the next 8 weeks, though that might happen if I make some tradeoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not a one! Can I do two per week? Doubtful, but I’ll refocus and try to get at least one per week done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve done a bit of Go, but nothing useful. This is on the schedule though so I’d say I’m on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The space is much<\/strong> improved. There is very little random junk strewn about, though there are a number of bins\/boxes that need to be sorted, but if I ended the half as things are now I’d be pretty happy with the progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What personal improvement list would be complete without some health goals? These are not easy but seem to strike a balance of achievability and meaningfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m down about 10, which is still pretty solid as a sustainable loss for 4 months, but I’d really like to stretch and hit that 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As of May 1, I’m currently at 111 with an active streak of 65 days, so I’m 11 ahead of schedule. It has raised my calorie requirement twice, due to the streak, from the starting 890, first to 970 and now at 1,060.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am annoyed because I didn’t get my “Perfect Month” badge for March or April, I suspect there is a bug where you don’t get it if it raises your target and you didn’t hit that new target every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve basically done none of these, but partly because I’ve been using our new home gym and really enjoying it, when I’m not too tired from doing other physical work (e.g. the workshop). <\/p>\n\n\n\n I didn’t expect to get this finished this half, but things worked out and we have a nice little spot with some barbells, dumbells, and an elliptical. I’ve been doing some circuit training and really enjoying it, perhaps even more than at a gym. We’ve also been taking family walks 3-4 times per week which has been great for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the adjustments have stayed within the theme, perhaps even moreso than the things that have fallen out. I have actually conciously thought about this as I’ve been going so I think this is a good part of the plan to keep for future versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m reasonably happy with the progress and if I keep tracking I should end up near a nice green 0.7, perhaps higher if I can make progress on the zeroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be back in a couple of months with final results and new goals!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As promised, here is my progress update on my OKRs.
