2022 Writing Plans

Looking at the blogging plans I wrote down for 2021, I feel embarassed, and somewhat defeated. What I have learned is this:

• keep working on the process. that basically means managing my energy levels by: sleeping earlier (less time reading news); eat light dinner; don't check work email/slack and dive into hobby projects first thing in the morning.

• keep focus. Only do one thing well per year.

• keep motivated. Find people to work with, and also to get some social pressure.

Here's what I wrote down for 2021 back in Oct 2020.

2021 Article List

• Microcontroller. Preferrably related to TinyML.
• Donkeycar. Preferrably using above microcontroller to navigate.
• Web Analytics. Provide Google Analytics setup/analysis for non-profits.
• Machine Learning. Anomaly detection areas.

My list for 2021 was too broad, and each area I dabbled in wasn't deep enough to write about. So for 2022, I would like to keep a narrow focus on 2 things: Rust and Google Ads.

2022 Focus: Rust and Google Ads

• Q1: Google Ads GAQL CLI with Rust gRPC
• Q2: Google Ads Dashboard with Rust Static Site Generator Zola
• Q3: Google Ads Performance Anamoly Detection with Rust
• Q4: Bonus article

With a concrete schedule set, lets see how I fare this year.
