My wish for you in 2026: Find your gang of lunatics who will make your journey worthwhile.

I have been publishing annual review for the past 11 years. I just published one for 2025.

Every 12 weeks, I pursue activities under:
• Wealth
• Insights
• Network
• Self

⇒ WINS

Little bit of WINS every 12 weeks.

Planning is easy; doing is hard.

As we enter the new year, I'm sure many of you are thinking about goals. If history is any indicator, we often abandon our goals quicker than we expect. So, what is the fix?

My son talks about the process he follows.

Everyone tries to find a reason for why humans are better than AI. People think it's worse because it's limited to it's training data.

But aren't we the same?

Our interaction with the world is based on our own "training data".

Continued optimisation for efficiency removes flexibility to pursue opportunities for flexible growth.

Efficiency removes wastage & buffer. These two are the vital blocks for flexibility

Barbell blogging ;-)

I tell my friends that I follow the barbell strategy for everything (a concept I learned from Taleb).

It seems that, unknowingly, I also applied the barbell strategy to my blogging—crowded in the first and last two months, and sparse throughout all the other months.

You earn respect not by the number of projects you start,
but by what you actually finish.

Pick one goal and finish it. Then pick next. And go on.

Finishing changes who you are.

The more I use cursor, antigravity to generate code and debug, the more I realize, my coding and debugging skills are going down.

Both from laziness and cognitive decline.

Debugging is one thing I've always prided myself on. I wonder how this will morph in the new era.

I keep goal-setting process minimal, which makes it effective. Discussing my approach with friends today.

• 4 areas (wealth, insights, network, self)
• Plan→Do→Review
• Plan for 12 weeks

Madam Secretary > The Diplomat

I watched about 3 seasons of Madam Secretary and the first season of The Diplomat.

Both resemble in their plot. But somehow the plot, characters, and the acting is better in Madam Secretary.

Which one you like?

If your work looks perfectly organized, you’re probably not doing anything new.

History backs this up.

Where is the most potential in this world?

Arpit began the session with this thought-provoking question.

His answer: the graveyard.

Because so many people die without realizing their fullest potential.

So, are you living up to your fullest potential?

Thin Desires Are Eating Your Life
The defining experience of our age seems to be hunger.  We're hungry for more, but we have more than we need.  We're hungry for less, while more accumulates and multiplies. We're hungry and we don't have words to articulate why. We're hungry, and we're lacking and we're wanting. We are

Why write?

Writing forces you to tidy mental clutter
Writing expands your working memory
Writing exposes the ugly, uncomfortable, or unrealistic parts of your thoughts

First names affect how you are perceived at work.

‘Anna’ and ‘Joseph’ are consistently considered trustworthy, honest and reliable.

What’s your growth marketer toxic trait?

Mine is bookmarking hundreds of growth ideas and experiments, then never running them because I’m buried in dashboards, decks, syncs, and “quick” follow-ups 👀

Velocity > Speed

Solve the direction prior to speed.

If you are going in wrong direction, the best decision to take is a U-Turn.
