Wow. We are just about at the end of the first quarter.

That passed incredibly fast, almost too fast, so I’m trying to slow down time.

This was a pretty stagnant month for me:

• I made some progress on my goals, but not nearly as much as I wanted.

• I hit some technical challenges with one of my solo businesses that took some time to figure out.

• I made no progress on my short story writing.

• I’ve set a hard target to lose 10 kgs this year, but I made no progress this month.

• I’ve been feeling a bit of a funk the past few weeks.

It’s good to have these months.

My ego was pretty sky-high at the progress I made during the second half of last year.

This month was a reality check and very much needed.

I don’t want another month like this.

Reflecting on the month’s performance helped me zoom out and figure out the root causes for my funk, mainly the lack of stress, which makes me feel too comfortable. I covered this in a previous episode.

This is the prompt that I use to review my month holistically.
