The year 2018 has already ended. I remember making various plans for myself at the beginning of the year, but I didn't complete them as scheduled. I haven't written any articles in the past week, and I think it's because I lack effective time management and self-discipline. I often procrastinate on planned tasks until tomorrow or next week, and sometimes even next month. I believe this will change in 2019. Let's review the feelings of 2018.
I started a public account at the end of last year, but I didn't really start updating it until March of this year. So far, I have intermittently published 59 articles, averaging about one article every 6 days. This is too few for a year. The reason for the low output is also due to the low input. I hope to double this number in 2019. Let me talk about the original intention of starting this public account. First, I hope to develop a habit of sharing the knowledge I have learned. Compared to a blog, a public account feels more private. Second, I want to improve my writing skills. With good writing skills, I can naturally explain technical topics clearly in articles like technology blogs. I hope to continue growing through continuous output in 2019.
In terms of technology, I feel that I have been able to handle the tasks I have planned for this year with ease. In my spare time, I have finished reading "Android Gradle Definitive Guide" and have also published 10 articles while reading the book. This has deepened my understanding of the Android compilation process and the use of Gradle. I have also read "Android Component Development" to understand the process of Android component development. I have successfully applied component development technology to projects at work. In addition, I have studied some data structures and algorithms, and I can consider how to reduce code complexity and improve program performance when writing code. I also tried developing WeChat mini programs in my spare time, which is an extension of my skills. I hope to make even greater progress in 2019.
In terms of cognition, health is the foundation of revolution, so I got a gym membership card. However, I haven't been to the gym for the past two months. After the New Year's holiday, I went to the gym on the first day after work, which is a good start for 2019. Because I went for a few months last year, I found a familiar feeling in the gym. I slowly realized that action and thinking are two different things. After reading an inspirational article, it seems that my thinking has reached the same level as the author's, but inspirational articles are still just inspirational articles. When it comes to real life, my actions can't keep up. People always say that cognition is important, but what's really important is the combination of cognition and action. In addition, I have also read some books on economics and finance, and I have started to explore investment methods such as funds and bonds. I have transferred my balance from Alipay and WeChat Pay to my fund account. They say if you don't manage your finances, your finances won't manage you. Although I don't have much money, it doesn't hurt to try.
In conclusion, the past year has been quite rewarding. Although it deviated greatly from the plan, it can still be considered a year of progress. I believe that in the new year, I will be able to forge ahead. Finally, thank you all for your attention.
