For the past thirteen years, I set goals publicly at the start of the year and then review how I did at the end of the year [see 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009].
I’m not sure if this is actually useful, as I only look at this post the first and last day of the year, but I like traditions, and am oftentimes pleasantly surprised by how much I accomplish from this list. And maybe it helps subconsciously, so here go my goals for this year. The ones in grey are not fully in my control.
Like last year, I have 12 goals, and a top 3 of most important goals.
