Hi Reader,

Happy (belated) New Year! 🎉 Or is it too late to say that now? 😆

I know it’s been a minute (okay… half a year) since I last sent this newsletter. But as I’ve been reflecting on 2024 and looking ahead to 2025, I knew I wanted to share this one with you.

I just published my Annual Review, where I recap the biggest lessons, wins, and challenges from the past year—and what I’m excited about in 2025.

I’m still figuring out what this newsletter will look like in the new year, but I just wanted to pop in and let you know I’m still thinking of you.

And if you’ve written your own Annual Review, I’d love to read it! Just hit reply and share it with me.

Annual Review 2024: Lessons, Wins & Challenges

I’m completing this annual review on a snowy weekend in February here in Toronto, Canada. Getting this public version of my review published has been sitting on my to-do list for weeks—something I kept meaning to get to but hadn’t quite finished.

I actually started reflecting on 2024 back in December and continued the process into January. By then, my Notion doc had become a messy but complete record—full of my answers to reflection questions, major highlights from the year, and a preview of what’s ahead in 2025. Technically, that should have been enough.

But this year, I had an extra push to go beyond my private notes. As part of co-hosting the Annual Review 2025 Workshop with Tiago, we encouraged participants to create an artifact—something they could share with the world.

At first, I’ll admit—I dreaded the idea of turning my messy reflections into a polished, public piece. But then I remembered one of my key lessons from this year (which you’ll read about soon): How can I make this the most enjoyable?

And the answer became ChatGPT.

Instead of struggling through endless drafts, I spoke each section aloud using ChatGPT’s voice-to-text feature—letting the tool transcribe and refine my thoughts as I went. This made the entire process faster, smoother, and, most importantly, way more fun.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into my 2024.

Question of the Week

What do you want to leave behind in 2024 and not carry forward into 2025? What do you want to shed and let go of?

This was one of my favorite reflection questions from this annual review.
