2021: Year in Review

A short reflection on 2021 and plans for 2022.

The year 2021, just as the year before, was quite challenging for me. I spent most of my time trying to juggle work, side-projects, and family, and it mostly didn’t go that well.

Highlights

• CSS Weekly — Published 46 issues, started an Instagram profile (at the end of December).
• Blog — Published 353 blog posts.
• Inspiration Bits — Published 11 issues.
• Biggest Shift — Quit my job.
• Personal — Wrote every day, practiced Hungarian daily, read 12 books, exercised sporadically.

CSS Weekly

I didn’t make much progress with CSS Weekly, and I failed to create even a single product for my audience. I tried to stay on top of my weekly schedule, email, and obligations to sponsors, but I didn’t do too well most of the time.

This changes significantly in 2022, as I will spend most of my time working on the newsletter.

I’ve written about CSS Weekly in detail in a separate year-in-review issue.

Blog

I’ve published a blog post almost every day. I’ve written about what I was thinking about; things I noticed, ideas I had, and things I tried.
