With 2018 literally peeking around the corner (Yes, we all see you. You aren't hiding from anyone anymore.) I decided to get this down in writing to hopefully help motivate myself... The thought being that if it is written down then I have committed to it more than just thinking it and I'll be more apt to follow through.
With that said.. get ready for a kind of long read (I do try to make it skimable)... if anyone actually reads this things.
