Type A and Type B Productivity
In the month of December 2024, I started messing around on the piano a bit. I started practicing every day, and the habit actually started to stick a little. I did it for about 10 days, practicing on single scales exercise in C major for about 10 minutes per day, and it was small enough that it was actually sustainable. Plus, it was just spaced out just enough that I could see improvement in about a week.
New Year's Resolutions 2025
I feel the urge to Paul Graham this one – really break down New Year’s Resolutions, talk about why they work, why they don’t work, what constitutes a good New Year’s resolution, and the like. But then I stand the risk of becoming a little too meta. The goal of this post is not to write about New Year’s resolutions, but rather to make the resolutions themselves.
It seems best if I start, though, by talking about what constitutes a good New Year’s resolution, and what constitutes a good habit, more generally.
