35. What Worked in 2022

---

Do you use December 31 as a deadline for planning your hopes and dreams in the new year? Me too. But I didn't get to it over the holidays, so instead of being hard on myself, I'm believing that my reflections are right on time. Plus, instead of focusing on what didn’t work in 2022, I’m sharing what did. Turns out, New Year’s Eve is entirely arbitrary and rituals like this one can happen anytime.

Highlights

• 9 things that worked for me in 2022

• Why I made specific choices around my newsletter, my weekly planner, and even my library holds
