Promoting myself as much as I promote others.

Letting go. As the companies I'm involved with grow, it's sometimes difficult to give up control over certain parts of the business. This year, I'm trying to focus on the areas where I can provide the most value, and fully trusting my colleagues to deliver the best work possible in any other areas.

@tschoffelen You have a daunting task at hand. Letting go is so difficult in any situation - personal or professional. All the very best!

I'm also working on my health, but for me this is not only about sports, etc. The thing that I'm really focused at this year is my mental health - I've gone through a long way of psychotherapy and now I see how important it is to take care of yourself

Researching topics, want to develop a workflow for proper research so that I can explain complex topics

@aaronoleary It's interesting you said that because I recently saw a ted talk on how mind mapping ideas and information helps retaining it and sharing it with clarity. Do share a few tips on how you're improving on your research skills, I'm sure people around here would benefit a lot from it :D

@nelson_wells Me too! for sure. I have never been the "to-do list" kind so it's difficult for me to check my progress. I am trying to work on it

I think most of us have the To Do list. But rarely do we prioritize them and ensure we track them until completion. This year, I am kind of focused on completing the top-3 on my To Do which will be good for me personally as well professionally satisfying. After all, in the end all we want is a blissful realization that we did something and completed it positively.

Acquire strong B2B skills. I'm a PhD in law, so business is not my original subject ;)

Focus for sure! There are a million things I could do/work on, but only a few that are impactful. @yeshaswini

@fredericmelanson1 That's close to home. I have the shiny objects syndrome and it gets a little challenging to focus on one thing at hand.

I want to get better at prototyping ideas really quickly, like say over a weekend, using no-code tools @yeshaswini
Yeshaswini
@jackietanyen That sounds super interesting, Jackie! There are so many no-code tools out there to build things - I was looking at Bubble the other day, found its builder super intuitive.
