How did you do on your 2020 resolutions?
One of my favorite rituals is reviewing the year and planning for the coming one. Here are my 2020 resolutions with notes on how I did:
Goals:
✅ $🁢🁢🁢🁢🁢🁢 in income
I was lucky that Covid had only a small impact on my income. That said, I did lose income by quitting the job I was working at the beginning of the year. New sources made up for the loss.
✅ Income from 4 sources
I intended my fourth source to be a goal I failed to achieve, but the year provided other opportunities to earn money. Bitcoin was the sleeper hit.
🚫 Project earning $1k/mo (actual: $0)
My full-time effort, Marina, is pre-revenue. Side projects also have not made any money.
✅ Find a partner for my next project
One of my most talented friends sent me a text to see if I was available to work on a product with him. The text came as I was mulling over whether to quit my current gig. Couldn't have been better timing! 🙌
🚫 Meet 60 new people (actual: 41)
Covid made this goal a challenge. Work gave me a handful of opportunities to meet people. During the lockdown, I met with a number of people on Lunch Club. I look forward to more coffee meetings in 2021.
🚫 Read 52 books (actual: 44)
I got through a lot of books but podcasts and social media kept me from reading a book a week.
🚫 Write something substantial
I wrote a journal to myself but did very little writing beyond that. Hope to do more in 2021.
✅ Follow daily ritual
My daily ritual fluctuated throughout the year but I did a good job of being intentional about structuring my day. The morning coffee was core to the daily ritual.
✅ Strength training 3 days / week
I bought this guy's program: https://www.instagram.com/gregogallagher. It's vain as hell but also simple to follow and delivers positive results. I can see my abs for the first time in 15 years.
Love to hear how your year went!
