The perfect year
February 21st, 2024After my wife and I got married, we did an exercise that had been suggested to me. And that was to sit and writing down, your perfectly average day, week, month and year.
You get your spouse to do it too, then you compare notes. And this helps uncover what’s the same, what’s different but it also gives you a language. This is what we’re working towards as a couple (amongst other things) and when things get hard, or when you achieve that, it brings you together.
And of course, what you do on a day, is what your life is. So it’s also a fantastic way to define how you want to live or aspire to live like.
BUT only recently have I clicked, that doing the same exercise professionally is probably a good idea. We all set new year goals, have KPIs or OKRs or objectives we are trying to achieve. But spending the time to jot down what the perfect year looks like.
- What happens and when?
- How would you balance work and play? Friends and family?
- Learning? New connections?
- Conferences? Events?
For me, more conferences or getting better at repeating the same events each year, to build up that rhythm through the year and habit.
