Great post Harshal. And thank you for the mention!
Your first three motivations really resonate with me. As I move through 2024 I am investing more in relationships in an effort to find and cultivate more joy in my life.
I really appreciate your learnings and tips. Last year I learned I'm an ambivert, a mix of extroverted and introverted, after years of only thinking there were two options and heavily embracing the idea that I'm an introvert. Making the mental shift is helping me get more comfortable putting myself "out there", but I can always use plenty of tips and techniques for overcoming fear, anxiety, and years of ingrained behaviors that lead me to avoid social situations. I'm looking forward to reading "This Sh*t Works" based on your recommendation.
The “My Social Universe” exercise sounds very similar to what I’ve heard Tim Ferriss discuss before. He talks about the ‘energize - deplete’ concept when discussing his annual review process and deciding how to allocate his time in the coming year. Its a lens I applied during my 2023 review and 2024 planning process too. I look forward to hearing how this goes for you, if you choose to try it out.
