January 2024 Review

Things written, read, and done this month

Hi there,

Now that February has arrived, its time to reflect on what went well during the first month of 2024.

Here are the highlights:

1. Books read: 8

2. Poetry written: 3

3. Filled Notepads: 1 Yellow Legal Pad, 1 Pocket Moleskine

4. Substack Posts: 17

5. Substack Subscriber Count: 31

6. Youtube Videos Published: 33 (2 Long Form videos, 31 Shorts)

Here are some thoughts moving forward into February:

1. Have more meaningful conversations / spend more quality time with my wife, family, and friends

2. Read 50% more literature this month than last

3. Publish at least 4 poems, and write at least one short story

4. Start a podcast on Substack for paying subscribers

5. Share work on more social media platforms DAILY (X, Instagram, Threads, Reddit, TikTok(?), etc.)

6. Learn how to edit videos

7. Go on more walks

8. Fish at least once a week

9. Listen to more music, play more games

10. Go on a mini vacation somewhere new
