My Year in 2022

In 2022, I made 3 resolutions:

1. Run 50 experiments. I ran ~20 until April (here are some), but stopped (for no reason). I’ll continue.
2. Speak at 10 global forums. I delivered 10+ PyCon talks. They were pre-recorded, allowing me to scale. But recording videos and no feedback are boring. I’ll explore how to scale enjoyably.
3. Be 10X more effective. I improved my calendar effectiveness 2X in Jan. But I realized this is actually efficiency. Not effectiveness. Maybe effectiveness shouldn’t be optimized, but discovered. I’ll continue to ponder.

Milestones in 2022:

1. I completed 10 years at Gramener in February.
2. I moved to Singapore in August. (Cycling and ComicCon were mind-blowing discoveries.)

2 habits I continued from last year:

1. Walk 10,000 steps daily.
2. Read 50 books.

In 2023, I plan to:

1. Run 50 experiments. I’ll learn by disproving my beliefs with measurable tests.
2. Make 1 change a month in my environment. 90% of our thoughts are shaped by our environment. (Read The Extended Mind.) So I’ll use the remaining 10% to shape my environment.
3. Calendar integrity. Stick to my calendar. Especially the time I block for myself to work. (This is a 2021 habit I’ve slipped on.)

I’m curious — what’s ONE thing you’d like to do in 2023?
