This post is actually inspired by a tweet from @sandradjajic + an update here on PH from @chrismessina.

A few days ago I saw this:

Since I haven't been able to meet my work goals very well in the last few quarters, I now plan to approach them more systematically and not push myself too hard on work goals, as that ultimately led to problems that made my plan less sustainable.

So here is my structure and list:

As one year comes to an end and a new one begins, I find myself pausing to reflect. If you had the chance to say something to your future self to the version of you in 2025 and 2026, what would it be?

Looking back, I want to thank myself for how much I pushed through this past year:

• For finding a job I genuinely value, even after going through a long period of stress and fear of unemployment

• For speaking up and sharing my own perspectives at work

• For choosing action over just talking

• For walking away from toxic and unnecessary work relationships

• For daring to learn new things outside my original field of study

• For letting go of some comforts and entertainment to focus more on my health
