Note, Track, Review. Repeat.

 I have always planned ‘New Year Resolutions’ but failed to write ‘In Retrospect’ articles detailing what I have done and achieved for the year, mainly because of the fact that I wasn’t really keen on keeping notes about progress and all that.

So in comes ‘Personal OKRs’, a project where I will write and regularly update my yearly objectives — detailed and tracked by teeny, digestible key results.

OKR is a goal-setting framework that consists of two parts: the clearly-defined Objective and its (usually 3–5) measurable success criteria called Key Results.

And of course, tracking will be done with a personal kanban board because, why not?

Guide:

  • Assess my situation
  • Where do I want to be (next quarter, next six months, next year, etc.)
  • Make plans on how to get there
  • Bonus: at the end of the month, what new can I confidently speak on, without prep?

Everything will be done in Notion and screenshots for quarterly updates will be pasted here as I progress.

Here’s to saying no to self-sabotage, being more organized and keeping myself wholly accountable for my growth.✨

For someone who’s spent all her life in strictly wet-dry climates, this has been a very fascinating experience for me. Four seasons. A blanketing proof of forces outside ourselves, inevitable changing and aging, nature’s natural cycle of death and rebirth. Slowly, and then all at once. This is how it always goes. For several days, it’s hot. Every person you see is basking in the heat from the scorching sun, some would even resort to ditching their clothes altogether. Summer dresses, shades, shorts. And then one day, you feel that cold breath on your skin. A gust, a wisp, an invisible, gentle cold touch. Unmistakable but negligible, because after some time, the golden ball comes back. Again, people bask in the sometimes too friendly sun. And then, rain. People adjust, “it’s just one of those days”. This, too, does not last. Nature is best in taking its time. Slowly, slowly, it eases you to...

Little Steps

  I am learning how to take things one at a time. Pause. Breathe. I’ll do it sad, I’ll do it angry, I’ll do it afraid. One task, one goal, one day at a time.
