I am taking the whole month of January to figure out what dreams and goals I work toward on 2025. How I’m going to spend my time. I’ve finally given up the dream the Celtics will finally draft me, so looking at other opportunities. I am going to do something different, taking Bob Goffs advice in his new book. I’m going to develop and write them down as if it were December 31, 2025, I’d already accomplished them and what I did to get there. That seems a clever way to trick myself that I’ve never tried.
Yeah, new years is a good opportunity to reflect. No reason to not the advantage of it. But in reality, it’s no different from starting something new on April 17. Just come up with what you want to do, why you want to do it and develop a plan and the support needed to properly do it.
I agree. I thought it a clever idea. So I’m writing out my accomplishments for the year and what I “did” to get there.
Well said Tarek. I think as a society we’ve lost a lot this last decade as we are online a lot more and out and about less. We see the interaction with the cashier in the checkout line as unnecessary. Maybe partly because we don’t really think we can make a difference. But largely I think we’re learning to interact with these new tools that are so powerful. Your blog is obviously a great online tool for interacting.
So many times, those “unimportant” brief interactions with strangers are life changing for one or both of us. They also hold societies together. We’ve lost some of that.

That's excellent Rob. Don't put artificial timelines on yourself. Picturing them as done is powerful!
