Groundhog Day Resolutions 2022 Goals Summary

Posted Thursday, February 2, 2023 by Sri. Tagged GHDR

This is an overview of GHDR Goals I made in 2022. An overview of my thinking through the year is in GHDR 2022 Year End Review, and my review notes are in GHDR 2022 Review Notes.

Main Reports

  • February 2 Kickoff - Defining the goals for 2022.
  • March 3 Focus Level Up! - Initial goals cleared. Added "daily making" criteria.
  • April 4 Working through the List - Progress.
  • May 5 Much Mental Processing - Thinking through mental health issues.
  • June 6 Too Much Work - Burned out on work. No report.
  • July 7 Back to Meeee! - Work commitments ending, looking forward to focus on my own work.

    Related journal entries Defining Archetypes, Defining Goals, and Defining Operational Goals dig into the conditions for setting strategic horizons. Reboot Complete is the summary of progress made.

  • August 8 Setting Strategic Horizons - Need for "singular focus" stronger than ever. Hypothesizing goal-less strategic planning strategy based on structured procrastination.
  • September 9 Progress in Four Phases - Warming up to meet my strategic horizon goals took time, but the systems of the past are proving useful in the present!
  • October 10 Fighting the System, Letting it Be - Limited progress on the big yucky goals that must be done, reflections on the challenges, and a reminder maybe that I should just let things be beautiful.
  • November 11 Battling Impairment, Finding Heart - This was an extremely difficult month as I worked through major feelings of disconnection related to all of my atypical traits. However, it set the stage for ongoing clarity.
  • December 12 A New Roadmap - I started to feel the urge to redefine my personal mission. The novel thought: am I living the life of a writer instead of that of an entrepreneur and just don't realize it? Perhaps I should just embrace it.

August Update

By the end of July, I had wrapped up a three year work project that had its fair share of frustrations, and declared myself on "sabbatical" to think about how to avoid these issues in the future. These notes come from version 3 'GHDR Goals' from August 8, where I tried to identity the grand "strategic horizon" I was steering toward.

NOTES

October

There were no changes in October. I had effectively narrowed my goals for the remainder of the year to these:

  1. Make progress on Physical Space
  2. Make progress on ECommerce/Product Fulfillment
  3. Bonus Progress: Correlating ADHD+ASD with Sri's Lived Experience

1. Progress on Physical Space

November

This was a very bad month emotionally as I struggled with issues of identity, connection, and belonging and wondered what the root causes were. I was out of commission for six weeks and posted right at the end of the month. However, this struggle has resulted in tremendous clarity and a renewal of conviction to do what I want to do.

This is a very critical review document.

December

There were no additional notes or entries. My year end summary was written in late January 2023 after reviewing everything.
