2022 Q4 Planning

There’s a lot still on the list for annual goals, and I’m more than a little hopelessly behind on most of it.

2022 Q2 and Q3 Review

💡I gave myself a D for the last couple quarters. I fell off the cart for most things traveling for 3 months from May through July—even skipping my Q2 review. I felt kind of burnt out upon returning, and struggled to get back on track. I’ve learned a

2022 Q1 Review and Q2 Planning

I gave myself a B this quarter. I found a good, consistent rhythm and have been feeling generally good about work. I do still feel like velocity could be a bit higher, and I would have liked to see higher compliance on key habits. Here’s the lowdown: * 🚀 Midana’s

2022 New Year's Resolutions

Priorities for 2022 haven’t changed much from 2021 despite this being the last year of my 20s! I will, however, be working to improve execution by focusing on consistency and velocity. I want 2022 to be a breakthrough year. I’d love for it to be the year that

2021 Q1 Review and Q2 Planning

I gave myself a B+ for the quarter. I might have given myself an A- or A if I hadn’t ignored language learning. Some highlights: * 🏡 I moved! I now live in a nice lofted studio apartment in Taipei’s Da’an district (featured image), where I can now see

2021 New Year's Resolutions

2021 is going to be the first year in a long time where I know from the start where I’m going to be for the entire year. This year’s goals and resolutions will aim to take advantage of that as much as possible. Additionally, this year I’m

2020 Year in Review

Summary On the whole, 2020 was a decent year. Did I accomplish everything I set out to do? Well, no. There were a few unexpected detours (*cough* COVID *cough*) but, to loosely quote one of my favorite books, if the journey is what really matters, not the destination, then perhaps
