The start of a new year, where everyone thinks this is time to change everything about one's life. No. Make incremental changes, and let them set themselves in stone via your systems and habits.

Don't think that just because of new years resolutions you're going to suddenly make a huge change in your life. I'm planning on compounding my efforts even more this year!

What am I doing... NOW? January 2025

I'm still finishing up my content blitz from last month, this winter energy drain is so brutal. I wake up still tired, even after a well night's rest. The sun is out today finally, which is really nice and helpful to my mindset.

Maybe I'll take the dog for a walk!

I was working on my Quarterly plan on the Yearly Note for my PIOS, and this is a part I thought I'd share from my planning:

Let's first decide what phases are of most interest or need, then figure out which quarters they'll fall into?

  • PIOS taking center stage for PolyInnovator, I'll have the polymath newsletter, but the PolyCast will be on hiatus.
  • PolyTools the creator stuff is gonna take a backseat, maybe once a month I'll release a video for that topic, but mostly going to be tools related. Perhaps building out more socials for the brand.
  • PolyGaming is gonna need to have some more life pushed back into it. Perhaps reposting old clips, then new ones, then starting up the streaming.
  • Swimming book needs to be finished asap, then I can write a dozen posts for the funnel of it. Perhaps its time for a new site again.

This is where my mind is right now, and I figure this is what I'm doing the most right now.

I'm working at Express clothes, and hopefully going to get a suit soon, not a fan of the styles and colors for the current selection. So hopefully a new suit will come soon, so I can make use of that discount. I did buy a nice blazer on sale last night, and so at least I have something now.

Otherwise, my situationship ended, and so I'm single. Not ready to mingle, and I'm just going to double down on my hermit mode. Ghost mode. Monk mode. Whatever.

I want to take note of this somewhere, but here is a screenshot of my current PIOS iteration:

Perhaps this can become a future section of the now page...

In a bigger view #MACRO, What's Coming up

Besides the two things: Moving to Austin, and the Content Blitz. I realized today that I have not planned out my year really at all.

I'm still writing the PREVIEW section of my yearly note, and I filled out pretty much only the Q1 part. I just realized though that really all of my plans only take up that first quarter, and they shouldn't take longer. Else I'd have been lazy in these coming months.

Then that least the rest of the year sort of blank?

That's both freeing, but also scary at the same time. What is important to me to work on? Why don't I have any plans beyond March? Its sort of hitting me all at once the lack of vision I currently have for my life right now.

I've been so focused on the NOW, that I haven't been thinking about what is NEXT.

Things I am consuming:

Not much really, just a normal amount of audiobooks/podcasts/random videos. ETC. Nothing of too much value to share. Though this video's audio is pretty cool!
