We don’t talk enough about our failures. Acknowledging them is important. So here’s a a #FailureThread of the top 5 things I didn’t do well in 2022:
1. Quality sleep: I didn’t meet my goal. Falling asleep is not a problem, my nemesis was the occasional 3am waking up in spite of…

3. Learning - Artificial Intelligence will revolutionize pretty much all spheres of work and living. I planned to deepen my grasp of AI, by doing 5 online modules. I didn’t finish them. I had also identified a few modules on Crypto, but not finishing them was intentional! :-)
4. Writing a book - I had planned to focus on writing a book but didn’t spend adequate attention to it. My excuse was dearth of time, but I think the deeper issue was motivation. We make time for things that matter!
5. Golf- I thought I’ll break 90. I didn’t. I enjoyed playing golf but improving score demands range practice. I started enjoying running even more after I stopped tracking my speed. I guess some things are done not for scores, but because they bring you joy!

Tweeted this yesterday, and funnily enough today i almost broke 90. Scored 91, so there’a good chance I might have one less failure for next year. Which also means it will be time to find a new challenge - if you’re not failing enough, you’re not challenging yourself enough!
