It's "annual personal review" season! Lots of people are writing about setting their 2020 goals, or looking back on what worked or didn't in 2019.
Those practices are cool, but in this thread, tell me—what's the most _unusual_ "annual review" practice you enjoy? 📆👽

(One of mine: what's the best single thing I ate this year? [This year: a grilled diver scallop, served plain in butter, at Angler. I wept! I ordered another.])

This is less unusual, but it's a time of year when many people are thinking about starting/changing habits, so I'll also re-share this weird approach to habits. Wrote this two years ago—still works great, have used it to start many new habits since then!

In my case it goes to Beeminder, and they use it to fund their product development. What matters in terms of my behavior is that I lose it.

Wonder, if in general, there is a danger of “helping a good cause” excuse to miss a goal? Are there other kinds of losses that may be more effective?
(BTW, I’m a long-time admirer of you and your work (since Apple days). Very inspiring. Thank you!)
