Setting Goals for 2023

I'm careful about setting New Years resolutions. I know they could end up broken - so instead prefer to set goals I can aim for. I set 3 for this year: to plan better, curb my expectations and create more digital products.

I continued with a lot of things in 2022 - some of which enjoyed more success than others. But I still struggle with worrying about what come throughout doing them all. You can read about everything I achieved in my retrospective of 2022.

You may notice the new home of the newsletter from which I'm sending this. It was announced in December that everything I'd written would be deleted from Revue this month which forced my hand. I've decided to move to ghost as my newsletter host of choice. Things look slightly different, but it's still me behind the scenes. You'll be able to find this and previous issues at newsletter.ianwootten.co.uk for the foreseeable future.

As always, if you have any comments on them or content suggestions for the future, please feel free to reply to this email and let me know.

Until next time, keep on shipping!

Ian
