2016 summary - “All in all a bloody great year” _Work, work, work, work, work_
I feel I’ve become 10X better as a Product Manager - shipped fuck tons of things, turned the company’s core product upside-down and generally delivered solid impact. Feel I’ve gotten a sense of business in general or at least found steady ground to go higher from . Got a chance to mentor somebody too, so aww yeah.

Public speaking
Warren Buffet once said that a person can double their net worth by simply learning public speaking. I gave two public talks (compared to ZERO that I have given in my entire lifetime before this) that’s a YoY growth rate of ∞, not bad don’t ya think?  Higher studies Big fucking saga, gave the GMAT later than I wanted to, scored a average-ish 710. Wasn’t feeling confident enough to apply this year . Didn’t factor in finances when shortlisting colleges to apply, turns out to be one of the most important factors. Should I pursue this, will have to find a way to survive through the huge debt I’m going to incur . Less messy but still a mess.

Personal Organisation system got going
Evernote is journalling. Ulysses for writing blog posts. Manage to grow the usage of Trello in the workplace though I’ve abandoned it personally, using Todoist . I’ve landed in this place because my work is so demanding that I can’t get to things if I’m not super organised - the environment has improved my fitness function.

Fitness took a nose dive
Ending the year fatter, my running habit is gone. My daily exercise habit is gone too.  Relationships are better
Managed to date someone for more than a year and shit is getting serious so … Love department is doing great.
Family contact has slightly improved maybe but no significant change. Reading & writing habits became piss poor 
Abysmal failure in reading - read 11 books this year, had a goal of 50 Not so bad in writing, wrote 33 posts, had a goal of 30.
Next year looks promising. Sucked at Building things
Total and complete failure. Zero movement. Didn’t program or build anything this year.  Less dumb at Finance
Managed to save enough to have an emergency fund.
Invested in PPF, invested in mutual funds, started a few SIPs and generally raised my level of awareness about financial shit. New house, new roomies <3
_I am so fucking happy I moved out my old place.
The house was right on the main road, constantly plagued by traffic noises and none of my roomates drank extensively or _____. The building didn’t have power backup and internet was erratic. The current house is the exact opposite.
Life is fucking bliss.
In addition I now walk to office.
My happiness has gone up 10X. _Alcohol(ism)
Finally the effects of age are showing a bit. Hangovers almost always last till 4 PM the next day. Still had a few fun blackouts this year.  I think I almost alcohol-poisoned myself one time and ended up with a fever.
But I guess I’m slowly growing weary of drinking like a fish.
But that’s what I said in 2014 too :D Personal transformation
Self awareness went up. Learning emotional control and mindfulness.
