In 2023, I went a little overboard with OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and that just sent me spiralling into overwork and burnout. That&rsquo;s not something I want to see happen again this year, so instead, I&rsquo;m doing a yearly theme: a one-word direction for the rest of the year that will act as a North Star rather than a strict set of rules. I&rsquo;m hoping this will allow me to be productive, but also keep me happy.</p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p6KdfE97y4w?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> <h2 id="links">Links</h2> <ul> <li>(podcast episode) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXexYmOHkas">2024 Yearly Themes by @cortexFM</a></li> <li>(book) <a href="https://amzn.to/3S40x5g">Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle</a></li> <li>(book) <a href="https://amzn.to/3TLLm1P">Can&rsquo;t Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation</a></li> <li>(book) <a href="https://amzn.to/3tv6ezT">Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less</a></li> <li>(book) <a href="https://amzn.to/3vscaKi">Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most</a></li> <li>(book) <a href="https://amzn.to/47ft5Ny">Romancing the Shadow: A Guide to Soul Work for a Vital, Authentic Life</a></li> <li>(podcast) <a href="https://www.thedeeplife.com/listen/">Deep Questions with Cal Newport</a></li> </ul>
