I did a reflection piece last week, and I'm feeling a bit defeated and sluggish at the moment. I'd like to be optimistic and put a sort of plan together.

I think one thing I have to work more seriously on is automation and resilience. I have too many routines that are 5 minutes here or there, or are relying either on me having time for something or doing something in a paticular way. And while I'm happy about dome things, like my ability to keep snagging a bunch of various Kubernetes related URLs and resources, I feel like sometimes that is the only bit that I'm pushing forward.

So, I need a grand goals and plans, and a timeline on when I'd like to achieve various bits.

One thing I'd like to do is build my formal home-lab. I have some of the bits, but I need to spend time building and then figuring out what I'm missing.

Learning is a goal -- I'd have liked to have done my Associates exam already, and I need to write up my Thesis proposal.

Modernize and upgrade my general network. Build a server or three, pull cabling, etc.

That's a good start, but now figuring out the how, when, and what I need, and putting that in my schedule, as well as adding anything else I need.
