Goals for 2026
I did not accomplish all the goals I had established for 2025. The one goal I am especially proud of that I did accomplish was moving back to California. That was a larger goal than I had envisioned. I am grateful to be back on the West coast & looking forward to the future.
In 2025, I had numerous opportunities for professional growth. This past weekend, I earned the Agentforce AI Specialist certification, but I did not prioritize taking the PD1 exam. Instead, I developed a stronger interest in pursuing the Data Architect certification, which I plan to tackle next after completing the AI certification. This path aligns better with my previous IT experience and is something I find more engaging than PD1.
The goals I would like to strive for in 2026 are as follows:
Health & Wellbeing
- Establish a sustainable health routine:
- Reduce sugar intake consistently
- Exercise 3-4 times per week
- Adopt a daily stress-relief practice such as meditation or mindfulness
- Journal more
- Earn the Salesforce Data Architect certification
- Retake & pass Salesforce Platform Developer I (PD1) certification
- Save more in emergency fund
- Max out IRA contribution
- Pay more on mortgage to get years down
