Hi Paul! Mine is to get a laser focus, by getting more quality into my weekly goals. For each of my 3 daily and weekly goals, I want to check how they really contribute to my big picture, instead of ending up busy instead of productive. Thanks for sharing yours! Love the approach of the lazy mindfulness. Have you read the book zen habits? It has the same approach with focused mini habits.

BTW: Can you describe your process of journaling? I use the five minute journal, but that's a very structured journaling. How do you do you free journaling, what is the question you are answer or do you just start writing like "I dreamed of a big bear in new Zealand tonight."
I have often read that people do this kind of free journaling but I'm not sure how to start, maybe you can spread some ideas or experiences :)
Finally: Great post like always! Still following your posts and listened to all your podcasts, you did an amazing job over the last years and your progress is awesome. Hope you have a great 6 month with your wife!
Hi Simon, great to hear from you my friend! I love your three words (especially "cut"). We're going a bit more minimal these days as well.
For the journaling, there's a few things I do. 1) If free writing, either in Evernote or in my notebook, I start writing and jot down what ever's on my mind. Sometimes I'll think about a question to answer, but more often than not, it's just a ramble of thoughts. I like this approach as it's a nice way of putting everything in my head on to paper without trying to fit it within a structure. If you want to give this a go, just start writing. There is no right or wrong here. 2) Or since reading A Guide to the Good Life, I'll list things I'm grateful for and describe a world without certain things/people as a way of practicing negative visualisation and other stoic principles. I'll also list things I'm pondering that aren't within my control so I can learn to let go of them.
Thanks for the kind feedback. I really appreciate your ongoing support and I'm looking forward to connecting more in 2017!

Hi @disqus_CyTQ9aeGTv:disqus, I've thought about it, just haven't bit the bullet and tried it out yet. But I'm thinking about it more and more... only hesitation is whether there's an advantage to keeping my journal inside my existing system (Evernote)
