2022 - Past Year Review

Saw the PYR method from the Star Rocket newsletter and tried to sort it out and review it.

1. Get a blank sheet of paper or a digital notebook
2. Write the two fields "Positive" and "Negative"
3. Open the calendar, review your activities every week for the past year from beginning to end, write the people and things that trigger positive effects in the positive column, and write in the negative column otherwise
4. Take a comprehensive look at the positive and negative columns to find the events that trigger your most satisfaction and pain
5. Now that you know what makes you feel positive, start building on those events to make plans for next year. And when the new year unfolds, those painful events in the past should also be recorded in a prominent place, reminding yourself not to make yourself unhappy.

Taking a closer look, I found that my unhappiness and entangled problems often revolved around work, which seemed to be not only a challenging goal to sprint, a source of sense of accomplishment, but also a blind spot that I had not overcome, whether it was running in with colleagues with different personalities, or Try to adapt to a work environment with chaotic collaboration systems.

Then the biggest discovery is that I can do a good job without drinking. I have never admitted that drinking too much is a bit dangerous. People who love wine can indeed find the joy of tasting wine, but drinking for the sake of drinking Very bad. For a while, I thought that I must rely on some alcohol to put myself into "a certain working state" to do planning and the like. It wasn't until Q4 that I suddenly became very involved in learning DeFi knowledge and did various researches every day. I discovered this motivation Much more interesting.

It's good to have a little wine with friends, and you can do well without wine when you're alone.

It is a pity that the gymnasium that started in 2022 will soon be terminated. Fortunately, work and side projects are on the right track recently. In 2023, I can concentrate more on sports and input more!

I still remember when I was eating sushi with a group of friends at the end of last year, everyone was talking about their annual goals. I didn’t order any of them. I really think that I don’t need to rely on big goals and I will do a lot of things for myself. It’s hard to relax in life. , People who don't play tricks. Yesterday's New Year's Day may be because I realized that there is really nothing to do. I have slept for a long time but I feel sleepy all day. Vanessa New Years, don't drink when you are unhappy, don't always rely on willpower to live every day and forget to rest.

I hope that all my friends can gradually live the life they want to live. Even if you encounter an unsatisfactory event, you still believe that this is just a pebble that stumbles temporarily, and there are still many possibilities for growth ahead.
happy new year!
