-## Trying to level up
+## Main focus
 
-- At the moment I have around 3+ YoE as a professional software engineer, the transition from this mid-level position to a senior is a bit hard, but I'm trying to get there. Frankly, I believe its going to take a lot of years to get there.
-- 2 key things I am trying to figure out:
-  - Working with large scale systems, i.e. products/projects with a large user base. (Not sure if that even matters in the grand scheme of things).
-  - How to lead larger projects. As in taking _more_ responsibilites & ownership.
+- Getting back into the physical world. My living comes from being in the digital one, and I’m a bit tired of the stark difference between them. As a result, I’ve started journaling, got myself a pocket diary, and some Uni-ball pens.
+- Learning about systems thinking.
 
-## Working on personal projects
+## On the back burner
 
-- Started a minimalistic web based tool, [**osscooking.com**](https://osscooking.com/) to analyze what's happening in open-source projects as a busy dev with just 10 minutes to spare.

-## Learning
-
-- Currently into System's Thinking & Psychology.
+- Planning to get into Single Board Computers, get my first Raspberry Pi and hoping to run few of my projects on it.
+- Go back into adding more cool stuff on [**osscooking.com**](https://osscooking.com/).
+- Figure out actional goals to transition from a mid-level software engineer position to a senior. I believe its going to take a lot of years to get there. Plus the sad state of affairs in this industry just pisses me off.
