I'm a huge fan of yearly themes, popularized by CGP Grey!

My "year of trailblazing" was incredibly positive.

Here's my recap: finally started antidepressants, became a dad, quit booze and cigarettes after ten years of attempts, conquered my internet addiction, started a popularish blog, biked from SF to LA, failed at starting a tech conference, botched a startup launch, read a ton of books, overcame chronic crippling anxiety

Nope. I lost my job in late 2022 and spend most of the year unemployed. Basically nullified all my goals and at this point I'm not sure if the bigger ones will even be achieved at this point.

Crossed a few things off my TODO list alright. Gotta love the hustle. Although this year I picked low hanging fruit. Next year I want to tackle the heavy / tricky stuff.

Nope. Planed to leave my long time employment, got fired instead. Planed to setup a money saving workflow for putting money aside - spent it ...

This year ends uncontrollable negative haha

Some yes, some no. I had an unexpected mid year relocation and setup in a new state. Next year will be my year…. !
