The year 2018 has already ended. I remember making various plans for myself at the beginning of the year, but I did not complete them as scheduled. I have not written any articles in the past week, and I have come to realize that I lack effective time management and self-discipline. I often procrastinate and postpone planned tasks to tomorrow, next week, or even next month. However, I believe that this will change in 2019. Now, 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 six days. This output is too low for a year, and it is low because of the lack of 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 better writing skills, I can naturally explain technical topics clearly in technical blog articles. 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 since the beginning of this year. 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 componentization. Moreover, I have applied component development technology to a project 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 have also tried developing WeChat mini programs in my spare time, which is an extension of my skills. I hope to make 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 can be considered a good start to 2019. Because I went to the gym for a few months last year, I found a familiar feeling in the gym again. I slowly realized that action and thinking are two different things. After reading an inspirational article, it seems like my thinking has reached the same level as the author's. However, inspirational articles are still just inspirational articles, and I still struggle to put them into action in my daily life. People always say that cognition is important, but what is truly 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 savings 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 give it a try.
In conclusion, the past year has been quite rewarding. Although it deviated greatly from the plan, it was still a year of progress. I believe that in the new year, I will be able to forge ahead. Finally, I would like to thank everyone for their support.
