Welcome 2023

I don’t take new year goals, probably because they induce anxiety if I don’t stick to them. Instead, I think in terms of themes, a list I can look back throughout the year.

So, here’s such a list for 2023:

• I’ve already collected a a lot of good content that I haven’t consumed. (This includes books, music and side-project ideas.) I’d like to stop collecting more and chug through what I already have.
• Staying healthy will obviously be high priority. I’d also like to go out in nature more.
• I want to stay away from new tools (in terms of software or services) and continue using those I already know to achieve my real goals.
• Less passive content consumption - for e.g., Hacker News, Reddit, news headlines, etc. But I do want to understand more deeply some topics from the world around me. For that, I am thinking Economist, YouTube and gradually curating a list of blogs etc.
  • Research papers are a good idea.
  • Writing blogs can be another good way to go deep into sone topics.
