My list of 23 for 2023 (Q1)

My list of 23 for 2023 (Q1)

In December-January, I felt resistant to creating yearly goals for 2023. This surprised me, given how much I (normally) enjoy setting, tracking, and evaluating my goals. However, I went with the flow this time and didn't craft any goals at that time. By early...
