1/4 to go.

My tab dissapeared (just commenting on it now but it's been a few months) from the doc.

These were my 2016 goals:

Read 2 books per month : I don't allocate enough time to read books, but I've read a lot from articles and discussion threads (from Hubski and forums) and I think I've gained a better understanding, but not a deep one, of some things. Should still read more books though.

Exercise/run 3 times per week : The year started well, but now I've slacked a lot. October will change that.

Find an interesting internship : It took 2,5 months, but I got really lucky in the end and found a great internship in consulting, working on the French subway system (focused on maintenance costs). It's interesting, I work with friendly people and I learn a lot. I'm sharpening more and more what I want to focus on later, and it's probably going to be the automotive industry. Between autonomous vehicles, electric cars, and changing public landscape, I find this interesting, challenging and useful.

Take time to travel to Asia or Oceania with friends : not quite yet. My internship got me to America and it was amazing, so it's a very nice trade-off.

Clean bookmarks (30/month) : Still more to go, I've worked a bit on that.

Dedicate time to dating : Eeeh. Not doing well in that department. Trust issues. (How do you trust your companion ? I think I'm confident in myself, even a bit too much with ideas and opinions, but I also trust people to be people, so I find it hard to trust someone with all the stories we hear and we experience).

Develop Palantyr.org with more content : Website hasn't moved at all.

2/3 major goals achieved, I need to find a way to be more disciplined in the other areas and happiness will flourish.
