At the end of the year, don’t just ask what you got. Ask who you became. Stuff fades faster than character.

An inventory of possessions is the easiest review to do and the least informative one. The harder question is what changed in you across twelve months, which habits got stronger, what you can handle now that you could not handle before. That part compounds, while the objects start depreciating on contact.

Write two short lists at the end of this year, one of what you acquired and one of what you learned to do. Then notice which list you are actually proud of.
