30 Year End Activities
30 Year End Activities
Random Observation/Comment #637: I feel the last two weeks are the most productive of the year. Productive towards enjoying life. There’s so much personal reflection and peace.
Why this List?
I didn’t realize that I have a lot of odd habits when it gets close to the end of the year. Some of these are backwards-looking. Some of these are forwards-looking. Some are just plain neurotic. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Write a blogpost reflecting on the year (2020)– the tradition lives on!
Read through older end of year reviews– a nice pat on the back for keeping up a great tradition
Read through this past year’s seelemons blogposts
Read through my past year of journal drawings
Archive old Keep notes and try to clear them out to start with a clean slate
Delete/Move files from My Downloads folder (this just gets pretty crazy)
Uninstall applications on my laptop and phone that I don’t use anymore
Review the goals and resolutions I set the year before
Tally the amount of time spent watching TV or listening to podcasts – I should write a separate post on this alone
Donate clothes and random things I didn’t wear for a year – I’m not one to be clingy to things
Think of something I’m missing – this could be materialistic or super meta
Go through my web of peeps – these are ~100 people I’d hang out with in my free time and try to send messages to during holidays or big events
Send messages to these contacts and wishing them a happy holidays
Write and mail holiday cards – great practice and tradition
Look at pictures of Evie to see how much hair she’s grown
Browse personal pictures from Jan the year before
Erase my whiteboard (and usually rewrite some big items to tackle in some corner)
Book tickets to shows or concerts for the next year (some of these act as presents) – I really want to do one broadway show, one comedian, one podcast live taping, and one sports game
Look through my books and notice how little I read them anymore
Take a multiple personal body measurements (it’s a thing to do)
Watch the Google Year in Search video
Walk through Central Park – this is usually a personal day drinking hot cocoa and listening to a podcast on a long walk
Take off a work afternoon and walk through MOMA and/or MET
Revisit my core setup with a fresh set of eyes –
Review my productivity metrics – I should change these metrics all together
Reorganize my web bookmarks
Read and clear my saved Pocket articles
Look through my old DSLR photos and Clear my SD cards
Leave old slack channels or just unstar channels
Make a food resolution – Eat more, Eat better, and Eat more better
