New Year's Resolutions for 2024 (professional and/or personal ones)

General
1

Take a moment to reflect on this past year. What do you want to aspire to in 2024, either in your professional or personal life?

Write down a New Year’s Resolution, or two (or three or four) and feel free to jot down why it’s important to you. These can be super serious, ambitious ones - or way more lightweight and fun.

Whatever comes to mind, feel free to share!

A few New Year’s Resolutions that came to mind…

A professional one:

  • Cross-collaborate with more team members in different departments of my company more often. It’s incredible what you can learn by opening new working relationships up, and finding new kinds of content that can make its way here to the SSN from other co-workers, I think, would be a big win for the community experience of value.

A personal one:

  • Go to more events where I can dress up. Basically, I want excuses to throw on a sport coat and slacks more often, or roll up to something in the colder months wearing a wool trench coat and leather gloves more often. The Zoom culture has made this less frequent (sometimes for better, sometimes for worse) and I want to try and swing things in the in-person direction more often.

Keeping it simple this year:

Professional: Get dug in deeper on business, technology, my vertical.
Personal: Get back into my regular exercise routine.

A personal one I have is to learn how to sew. There’s a lot of creative projects online, and I’d like to give it a shot!

Professional: Improve my writing skills, with a focus on using plain language and effective storytelling (I feel I made lots of progress toward brevity this past year).

Physical: Run 1000 km’s. I’ve been running at this pace for November/December so it’s more about being consistent for the whole year.

Simple, really: reach quota in 2024.
