Inspired by Derek Sivers’ /now page, here’s what I’m currently working on:
Yearly Theme
My theme for 2024 is The Year of Framework. 2023 was the year of building a solid foundation for various parts of my life. I didn’t get quite as much done as I’d hoped but I still have a pretty good idea of how to move forward in the areas I didn’t put as much focus on. This year is all about building a functional framework on top of that foundation.
If you want to learn more about yearly themes, it’s a running topic on the Cortex podcast. Episodes 20, 44, 45, 62, 79, 95, 104, 110, 123, 136, and 150 cover it in some detail.
Business & Side Projects
- Working a full-time job
- Maintaining a handful of websites from my former career as an online marketer
- Writing on this blog
- Building out a new side hustle
Hobbies & Interests
- Learning how to play guitar. Or more specifically, learning how to play some of my favourite songs. I really just want to be able to pick it up and noodle around with songs I love.
- Craft cocktails. I’m enjoying learning how to make classic cocktails as well as the history behind them. A couple of YouTube channels have helped spark my interest – Anders Erickson and Steve the Bartender.
