Week 1 3Ps
January 12th, 2022

Let’s check in where I’m at with my 2022 goals. As much as possible, I’ll try to post a weekly update. Also helps maintain commitments (and doubles as a blog post!)

7/8 Goals are Green.

Good progress on (most) fronts! Stayed (mostly) on track.

Progress

  • [Triathlon] Completed 6/9 planned workouts and met with Triathlon friends to plan 12-week training block and discuss travel.
  • [Lose weight] Lost 1.9lbs on Slow Carb diet. Enjoyed cheat day immensely. Favorite cheat meal: Donut cooked in butter at 2am.
  • [Lake house] Saved $200 towards lake house account. But am trending $110 over budget for the month (need to reduce burn to get ahead of savings targets)
  • [Crypto Project] Started focusing deeply with LinksDao on community product and DAO operations. Absolutely incredible community and learning a lot.
  • [Crypto Project] Posted first video for my own project uiux.gg (site forthcoming), a “teardown” video (need better word, it’s too negative) of Rabbithole.gg’s onboarding.
  • [Blogging] Wrote 4 blog posts. Not 5 but more than 0! This is the one at biggest risk. With everything else sitting down to write is a challenge currently.
  • [Learn Chinese] 6-day streak (30 mins/day) on the excellent Fluent Forever. Even had an aha moment at the grocery store. Walked up to the Spinach and said “Bo cai” and realized other greens have similar names.
  • [Read future books] 21% through Ray Diallo’s The Changing World Order. Love it.

Plans

  • [Triathlon] Last week of this training block ends Sunday. Then will do my Swim, Bike, and Run threshold tests to see improvement from 8 weeks ago. Also taking my 2nd body fat test!
  • [Lose weight] Keep on the four hour body baby!
  • [Lake House] Most of my spend has been variable, but actually my budget for “wants” is on track. Need to think through if all the supplements I’m taking are positive ROI.
  • In the next two weeks, I’ll go to my favorite local Magic The Gathering Store and talk to the owner. He should know someone who would be willing to be a mentor (necessary step to becoming a level 1 judge)
  • [Crypto Project] Plan to invest ~20 hours/week in LinksDao for the time being.
  • [Crypto Project] Plan on releasing an onboarding “teardown” (again, need more positive word) on Thursday.
  • [Learn Chinese] Try to hit a 7 day streak. I’m convinced the app is great and just need to put in the time.
  • [Read future books] Finish The Changing World Order this weekend when traveling.

Problems

  • [Triathlon] For the first time in 16 weeks I missed a workout. Missed 3 because it snowed in Nashville, the Y was closed so I couldn’t swim and it was too icy to run outside. This was an extreme edge case. Not sweating it.
  • [Blogging] This is the one at biggest risk. With everything else sitting down to write is a challenge currently. Need to give myself permission to write shorter posts mixed with longer ones later.
  • [Level 1 magic judge] Made no progress here. It’s way lower on my priority list. I didn’t even PLAY magic this week because the snow made travel difficult.
