A few days ago, I created a list of things I wanted to build a deep understanding and expertise on.
It was a list of just 10 complex topics.
And I started the first step to try and learn about them via books, articles and video/podcasts. The more I looked for sources for the #1 topic - decision making, the more I found a few things to add to my original list. Though most of the topics are related, there are some topics that deserve a list of their own.
As I thought about creative ways to learn about these topics, I considered having a monthly topic to dedicate one topic on. That idea appealed to me especially since reading the book - THE ONE THING. The result of focusing on ONE thing helps to move further faster.
Since I had an original list of 10 and there are 12 months in a year and I have a few more topics I want to add, this is my new list of topics. Though I am not firm on the months and order, this is what I have tentatively created as a goal.

Really excited to read 12 collections from you this year. Each of them focusing on one thing.
I would even advise that maybe you use this site to focus on that writing. The one thing per month. Whereas you write more meta and strategy and about goals on Jason's LifeLog. That way I feel both writings will feed into each other like fuel.
I am not yet totally familiar with lifelog and want to start small with all the new things I am doing until it becomes easy. So for now, I am posting the same content on both sites. Gradually, I may differentiate based on what the focus is.
It is great to have options thought.. Thank you for the hard work.
