My 2024 Recap | The Year of ‘Meh’ — Finding Purpose in the In-Between
From Burnout to Breakthrough: How Exhaustion Shaped This Year’s Experience
In this article, I’m going to recap everything that happened and everything that I learned for 2024. I’ve spent the last three weeks going through photos, to-do lists, notes, and my calendar in an attempt to take everything that happened throughout the year and package it up for two people: one, my future self. I want to be able to look back on 2024 in 50 years and say this is what happened, this is what I learned. And two, I want to distill all of my mistakes and failures and things I’m working on into some type of actionable framework that you, the reader, can use in your own life and avoid the same pitfalls I’ve stumbled into. Hopefully, by the end of this article, you’ll be able to walk away with a few lessons, at least that’s what my goal is.
The overall structure of the article has been separated into: Wins, Losses and Challenges, Realizations, and Areas for Improvement. This should make it easier for those who want to jump around and dive into whatever section catches their attention.
Alright, let’s talk about this year.
