1. Nearly completed V1 of Cachet (https://cachethq.io) - unfortunately personal issues arose plus being a bit burnt out meant I was unable to quite reach my deadline. But we're nearing it.
2. Started working on Larameet UK (https://james-brooks.uk/larameet-uk/) which will be a mini-conference/meetup for Laravel and PHP developers alike.
3. Moved back in with my parents so that more of my savings can go towards a house.
4. I reached sixteen weeks of not drinking energy drinks; Monster, Redbull, Lucozade etc and reduced my daily coffee intake to two cups max. I'd rather drink tea and water now. I don't smoke nor do I have a particularly addictive personality, but stopping myself drinking these energy drinks has been really hard and continues to be when I'm near them.
5. Finally (after five years) setup a deployment system for our consumer websites at work. This makes a massive difference and is a step in the direction I want to be doing.
