Independence month has started, that means half year is gone and 2017 is getting closer. Let’s recapitulate my accomplishments so far, using the previous monthly updates as reference:

1. February
2. March
3. April
4. May
5. June

What I get from those previous posts is the following 3 things:

1. I’ve finished reading 18 books so far and I’m currently reading Go in Action. Based on that I will be able to finish reading 38 books this year, at least 30 that’s for sure.
2. My personal free time estimates are horrific. I estimated I would be able to have 5 hours a week for working on personal projects, that was clearly a Wrong estimate. I really don’t have an answer for this yet, but I’ll keep trying.
3. The few open source projects I already created (sentinel, book-tracker and dynamic docker composer) have gained zero traction, obviously because I haven’t had enough free time nor enough motivation, everything is in stand-by, sadly.

This is tough, because I do have some ideas, which to me sound interesting and appealing but the lack of motivation are killing any possible project before it even starts.

All I know for sure is that the first step in the journey is always the most difficult one, I just need to keep pushing the envelope.

So what is the plan for this July 2016? Simple:

1. Finish reading Go in Action.
2. Read at least two more books.
3. Have Dynamic Docker Composer ready.
