Not, “Who do you want to be in 2022?”
…but “What the fuck are you doing in 2022?”
What are you improving at? What are you learning and gaining? Instead of thinking about what you want to achieve in the new year, ask yourself, “What do I want to be good at that I’m not?”
Then get to work at it.
And the beauty of focusing on skills is that it’s never done.
