2014 Personal Goals - Initial Post

As a recap of the previous years we have:

2010: 14% completed
2011: 30% completed
2012: 48% completed (counting partial completions)
2013: 28% completed (counting partial completions)

My dissertation occupied a majority of my time last year and especially during the back half of the year resulting in a dismal completing rate. With that mostly complete, hopefully I can focus on some other projects.
