Some years I set one goal per year of life; other years—like 33—I go for fewer goals that actually match the year. Click any card to see past check-ins and photos.
Quality over quantity. A big year deserves goals that meet it.

At 100 yards continuously now, and 656 yards total with stops in a single session. The private swim lessons at the MAC are paying off. Target April 2027; maintenance through Sept, pause for birth/postpartum, then build Nov 2026–April 2027.
Started—went once on Monday. The habit built now pays dividends for decades, especially as a woman.
In progress—building on it every week with AI healthcare trend summaries, turning into a living map of players, gaps, and intersections.
Returning to engineering management after a chapter that deepened my values. Schedule it like a meeting—don't let the pace of work erode what I learned.
Ship one concrete improvement that moves it closer to actually helping people.
1 of 3 delivered—went to my first meeting June 9, 2026, and gave my first 2-minute speech. Real reps, real audience, real discomfort; build before September while bandwidth allows.
In progress: reading James by Percival Everett—the 5th book of the year. Finished Make Time, Red Rising, Golden Son, and Dungeon Crawler Carl—new fields in sci-fi and LitRPG.
Building a second brain that acts as my executive assistant—reachable from my phone. About 20% there.
Done! Pandora's Promise with my dad and brother, then two more 500-piece puzzles on July 4 and 5. Found out there's a 2-person team puzzle competition in September, so bought more puzzles to practice with.
3 of 5: spicy black cod at Nari (Midtown NY); fried cabbage pancake my mom made; abalone porridge at Koreana.
June: thank-you cards for everyone who helped me get through Harvard. April: birthday cards. May: birthday cards and postcards. One a month is a practice, not a task.
People whose version of parenting you admire. Record it or take notes—you'll want it later, and so might your kid someday.
Done—volunteered 4 hours, 3 times at the Sawtelle house in Reading, assisting the nurse and aide with patient care: warming dinner, greeting guests, inventorying rooms, and cleaning shared spaces.
HYSA transfer, loan payment, and investing all on autopilot by July. Set it up once, let it run—the goal is done when money moves without you having to decide.
Started reading The Intelligent Investor. Framework first, then five trades that feel intentional, not lucky.
