🧭 “Habit takes advantage of inattention.”

– Benjamin Franklin

Hello Reader,

Every year, I publish an Annual Review on my personal website, as well as my New Year’s Resolutions.

On New Year’s Eve, I led an Annual Review Workshop, and guided participants through using my Annual Review Workbook, a Google Doc I use every year to go through the following 5 steps:

  1. Record. Collect your data, photos, and calendars.
  2. Review. Look through this data all at once.
  3. Reflect. Consider what the data means to your past, and your future.
  4. Refine. Identify changes you can make in your systems, your habits, and your lifestyle for better results.
  5. Resolve. Declare the achievements you plan for the year ahead.

Here is the TL;DR on my resolutions this year:

  • Screens Off by 8pm
  • Diligent Dashboards
  • Award Myself the Reward
  • Monthly Family Dates

I’ve found it more helpful, in recent years, to focus on small habits with lots of downstream effects. This works better for me than setting a resolution to achieve a goal – I resolve to commit to the activity that is most likely to lead to the goal, instead.

What are your resolutions for the new year?

If you set any resolutions, hit reply! I’d love to hear about who you are going to become.
