2022 has been a year, for me, of what I would consider "necessary mistakes."
I've made some terrible decisions this year, that I had to put a significant amount of time and money into correcting, but I think I'm almost there.
2022 wasn't the worst year of my life, but it's been one of the most disappointing; partially because I tried to accomplish too much, too fast, and without proper panning.
Going into 2023 I have less lofty but much more realistic goals:
- I want to accomplish *something* every week. Doesn't need to be huge, doesn't need to change the world, it just needs to be some sort of tangible improvement to my or someone else's life.
- I want to end 2023 in a situation as good or better then I start it with. If, this time next year, I am in the same situation I'm in now (roof over my head, enough food to eat, enough money to live comfortably, etc.), I will consider that a victory.
- I only want to file ONE W2 for 2023, in other words I don't want to change jobs for the first year in my working life. I like my job okay right now, and I want to end 2023 with the same job, unless of course it goes out of business or gets significantly worse.
I think all of this is entirely do-able, and during this I want to set things in motion for 2024, which I plan to make the "changes" year.

At any rate, happy New Year Fedi, I hope your goals are achieved in 2023, no mater how great or modest they may be.
Keep on, keeping on.

Things i hope for in 2023

- Lots more peace

- Less insanity
- More happiness

This is a great story of how Barnes & Noble’s new CEO who was hired in 2019 has turned around the company. Sales are up, it opened 16 stores this year and plans to open more next year.

The secret is the CEO really likes books and readers. So he stopped doing deals with publishers to promote their latest books & NYT best sellers and encouraged individual stores to promote books they found most interesting.

So simple yet…

In other news, the phrase "global citizenship" has been added to all the places you'd expect it to be added, so give it a few months and we'll start hearing about it in earnest out of Europe.
