Goals 6-9: 6) always be reading for work and pleasure, 7) check in with a teacher/therapist monthly, 8) spend at least two nights/three days a quarter in the woods, 9) connect in purposeful community weekly at minimum.
What (and when) was the last study you did that supports your knowledge/skill/mind/emotions related to investing?
The Checklist Manifesto, “How to Get Things Right” by Atul Gawande, recommended by a man I trust. Finished early December.
What study are you currently doing to support you in this work?
Atomic Habits, “An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones” by James Clear, recommended by the same. Listened to/completed. However, I’ll be going back through again soon in early January to journal notes as I go. Too much data for just a listen.
What (and when) is the last study you did for pleasure/whole self?
2nd Volume of In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, recommended in Albert Camus’ The Myth of Sisyphus. I can not recall when I finished this. I have not been reading much in 2024 and want to change that. Likely around April 2025.
What study are you currently doing for the same?
3rd Volume of In Search of Lost Time. I will likely finish this by mid-January 2025.
When was your last visit with your current teacher/therapist?
December 9.
When was the last time you were in the woods for at least two night/three days?
Mid October I think. I am due now/soon.
How often have you been engaged in purposeful community?
Weekly in person, daily by phone since July 2024.
