In 2021, I made 3 resolutions.
- Lose 10 kgs. I lost 5 kg in 3 months. But gained it back by the year-end.
- Fail big. I practiced confronting people – and failed. I still run from fights. Even when important.
- Calendar integrity. I stuck to my calendar 90% of the time. But personal commitments slipped.
On learning, I discovered network clusters. My PyCon talk on movie networks is the start of a fascinating exploration of actors that I’ll write more about.
On training, I designed a Tools for Data Science Course for IITM’s Bachelor’s in Data Science. I’m now a “faculty” at my alma mater, and no longer scared of it.
On self-improvement, I completed a Landmark course and continued Pranayama. Both helped my resolutions.
I also continued 2 habits from last year.
- Walk 10,000 steps daily. I averaged 10,200.
- Read 50 books. I read 52. Here are my reviews. (Which did you like? What would you recommend?)
In 2022, I plan to:
- Run 50 experiments. I’ll learn by disproving my beliefs with measurable tests.
- Speak at 10 global forums on data stories, and spread the beauty of data.
- Be 10X more effective. I’ll measure the impact and stop low-impact work.
I’m curious – what’s ONE thing you’d like to do in 2022?
