It’s the beginning of February, which is the perfect time to summarize 2024. XD

I would love to share with you my achievements and failures (opportunities) from the past year.

For me, it’s a good way to work on my imposter syndrome.

Health

Failures - Challenges - Opportunities - Staff to work on

  • Sleep. On average, I sleep for 6 hours and 47 minutes, with a bedtime of 2:44 AM and a wake-up time of 9:31 AM.

  • I didn’t finished my side projects. I need to have something in production. Take less, do more.

  • I didn’t write on this blog as much as I wanted.

  • Imposter Syndrome. It’s blocking me to do more.

Thanks for reading this ❤️

Love,

KK
