    Recapping 2019

    I was going to skip my yearly recap this time, until I saw this thread and remembered how much I liked doing them. I was going to skip it because I feel like I’ve accomplished very little this year. I half-joked on Instagram that one of my only accomplishments was getting my engagement ring fixed…

    100 Things That Made My 2018

    I’m not sure I was really present for this year, and I am still stunned by it. Last year, I was in too much of a difficult spot to stick to my usual year-in-review format, so I copied Austin Kleon’s 100 things that made my year strategy. I’m not sure I’m ready to really write…

But…

  • 2013 in Review, Bullet Style

    These year in review posts are all over the interwebs, but my favorite format has been Pam’s bullets. She recommends that you keep a .txt file throughout the year of your accomplishments. That way, when asked about accomplishments at a job interview or review, or just in your own personal reflection, you have something to…
