Today marks 6 months since I've started using UMS. I've been given a promotion at work which gives me an extra 16 thousand a year. That also comes with a chance to get further increases based on my performance and how well I do with KPI's and getting everyone to work efficiently. Though this is AWESOME, it's a far cry from what I'm planning to achieve within the next year.
Some other things have happened (which I thought was terrible at the time, but ended up being really beneficial):
My car broke down and needed over 3k worth of repairs done to it. This forced me to start cycling to work and got me in great shape and I ended up improving my diet as a result.
My laptop died which got rid of my daily distraction of the youtube rabbit hole. I ended up replacing it with an e-ink tablet that converts handwritten notes to text. I've always found my work flows better and the quality is improved when hand-written so this was an incredible purchase. It also solves a problem I had of proofreading my work which I can now do with the tablet.
I've been forced to move. The inconvenience of not having a car while needing to relocate sucks, but I've been able to find a cheaper place that better suits me, is closer to work, and I no longer have to share with others.
2020 looks like it's going to be a great year!
