My 2022 year in Review, milestones and more!

   This is part of the practice I have developed in the recent years, a non exhaustiv list of milestones, best podcast episodes, best musics, books I have read and loved etc.

I’ll be very simple and short, 2022 was extremely rich for me and moving to New York is going to be a game changer from now on.

Although these lists contains only the positive experiences, I had negative experiences too.

But the ideal is to use the paretto law (The 20/80 Rule) and get rid completely of the negative causes of bad experiences, and multiply the positive experiences.

You can do it in 30 minutes, a table with 2 columns one column with POSITIVE, and the other with NEGATIVE. And write down the experiences that comes to mind for each one.

I have been journaling  since 2017 so it’s easier for me to look at my Journal and see what made me happy, what I have accomplished and how I can improve it.

Also it seems easier to improve on a milestone than creating new ones so even publishing for example 2 articles for me in 2022 is a great milestone, since I’ve started the publishing practice and all I have to do now is to keep being consistant.

So no more new year resolutions, just keep improving what you’ve already built!
