Even though I tried to list out what happened, I couldn’t find the motivation to write it all out. So I decided to do what I learned to do this year – impromptu recording. It saves a lot of willpower and time so I’ll probably do this a lot more going forward.
Anyway, 2017 was a year full of growing opportunities and I’d like to think that I took full advantage of it whenever I can.
The video below goes over everything I did this year (compares it to what I had intended to do this time last year) as well as what I plan on doing this year. To make your life easier, here are the main categories:
couldn’t find a way to do a 2017 reflection without getting bored out of my mine so I decided to just record the whole thing in one take.
If you want to skip to certain parts:
Looking at 2017 goals and whether I achieved them or not: 00:00
Looking at everything I achieved in 2017: 19:00
Looking at 2018 goals: 53:15
Courses I took and notable books I read in 2017: 1:10:38
