+We're at the end of 2021. Some people asked me about how they should start planning for next year. I'd respond to this question with three principles:
+
+One—learn from this year.<br/>
+Two—find what excites you.<br/>
+Three—build a simple habit, not a plan.<br/>
+
+In this post, let's discuss the first one. We'll talk about the second and the third principle in the following days.
+
+Okay, the idea is simple. You go through each month in 2021. Then, you want to seek three things: 1) Small wins, 2) Small losses, 3) Learnings. Here's how it looks like in steps:
+
+- Go through each month in 2021
+- Write small wins/losses
+- Reflect on the learnings
+- Plan on how to avoid losses, how to reproduce wins
+
+As you ponder month to month, be honest. This note is only for you. Be okay to recognize small losses. For example, I have one that goes like this: I shared irrelevant things at the wrong time with stakeholders and got dismissed.
+
+Now. Go. Flip through the calendar.
