I like how Jake frames his goals for 2022 as intentions rather than resolutions.

@colinwalker I’ve been doing that for years. I outlined the reasons why on my old blog in 2014.

@patrickrhone Good reasoning. Back in 2017, I wrote that I didn't like NY resolutions because:

"I don't like doing something simply because you're supposed to. It invariably ends badly. If I decide to do something it's at a time of my own choosing and because I want to do it rather than out of any sense of obligation."

@colinwalker @patrickrhone I’ve never liked resolutions for the same reasons. Too much pressure and guilt as a result of anything that doesn’t get accomplished. This intentionality to better our lives should be an ongoing process, not just something we consider at the start of a new year.

@jakelacaze @colinwalker those intentions look great, Jake, it looks like we some similar 'intentions' :) Thank you for the mention, I actually re-named my post, the new link being this one.

ps. re: transitioning towards technical writing, you might be inspired by the stories shared in Glenn Leibowitz's 🎙️ Write With Impact podcast
