The days are long, but the years are short.
Think of it as New Year’s resolutions, but with an extra dose of structure.
2024
In progress
I’ve set a goal for myself but will be keeping it private until the end of the year. I’ve heard mixed things about telling people about your goals—some say telling people lets those people keep you accountable; others say telling people about your goals prematurely gives you a dopamine spike (i.e. you get a reward without actually having done anything to get closer to your goal).
I’m not sure what works for me, so I’m going to test things out.
2023
To read 12 books in 12 months
I started getting back into reading in 2021. Now is a good time to reinforce reading as a habit.
2022
To consistently (on average 4 days/week) exercise (lifting weights + doing cardio)
2022 was the first year I started setting yearly goals. Originally, all the planning was done on Notion.
