Personal Goals

I love writing lists; they keep my on track & help me organize my prioritizes. I was inspired by Una Kravet's Personal Goals Repo — read more about her approach here — to use GitHub to open source my goals. It's a great way to have better accessibility, transparency & (most of all) accountability.
