I set goals at the beginning of the year, and I’m tracking my progress in these updates during 2022.

February became more of a work month for me, and a somewhat busy month outside of work with life. I didn’t do enough on my career, and am more stalled than I’d like. I let distractions take over more than I should, and I felt a bit bad at the end of the month, rushing through some things the last week of Feb to make a little progress.

I’m slowing down, but at least I did something. I’m lowering the grade because I just didn’t do enough.

Grade: C+

Here are the goals:

Work

• DP-900 – Passed
• DP-300
  – Stated studying, practice tests around 60% correct
• Demo with SQL Server – 5%
• Demo with PostgreSQL – 0%
• Demo with MySQL – 0%
• Feedback book – 72%
• Good Strategy/Bad Strategy – 0%

• Create Report – 0%
• Create Dashboard – 0%
• Get people using it – 0%
