New things I am trying this year:
- Writing consistently. (I’m trying The Writer’s Hour right now.)
- Sharing what I’m learning & what I’m working on. (I’m not sure what the best channel for this is, since I get distracted by social media & Slack easily.)
- Reading with more intention. I want to be focused on specific questions when I read. I also want to take notes in a way that makes sense and connects things.
- Making decisions & committing to them (instead of keeping all options open & then getting overwhelmed).
