🧭 “Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”
– James Clear

 

How was 2025 for you?

Every year, I have published an Annual Review on my personal website. This annual ritual of introspection has given me:

  • Reminders of what worked well
  • Reflection on what could have gone better
  • Collection of the metrics that matter
  • An artifact to preserve my progress

Every year, my Annual Review contains 4 parts:

  1. What were my victories?
  2. What could have gone better?
  3. How many New Year’s Resolutions did I keep?
  4. What are my New Year’s Resolutions for next year?

If you’d like to use my Annual Review framework yourself, there it is. Feel free to swipe it.

If you’d like to gather on Zoom with a few others to participate in guided journaling exercises, breakout room discussions, and copy/paste AI prompting activities, I’m hosting a one-hour Zoom workshop on New Year’s Eve at noon NZ time (10-11 am AU time, 3-4 pm Pacific time on Tuesday, the 30th).

It’s $20 to attend. You can pay in NZD, AUD, or USD.
