Join my Annual Review Workshop on New Year's Eve on Zoom


🧭 “Goals are good for setting a direction, but systems are best for making progress.”

- James Clear

Hello Reader,

How was 2025 for you?

Every year, I have published an Annual Review on my personal website. This annual ritual of introspection has given me:

  • Reminders of what worked well
  • Reflection on what could have gone better
  • Collection of the metrics that matter
  • An artifact to preserve my progress

Every year, my Annual Review contains 4 parts:

  1. What were my victories?
  2. What could have gone better?
  3. How many New Year's Resolutions did I keep?
  4. What are my New Year's Resolutions for next year?

If you'd like to use my Annual Review framework yourself, there it is. Feel free to swipe it.

If you'd like to gather on Zoom with a few others to participate in guided journaling exercises, breakout room discussions, and copy/paste AI prompting activities, I'm hosting a one-hour Zoom workshop on New Year's Eve at noon NZ time (10-11 am AU time, 3-4 pm Pacific time on Tuesday, the 30th).

It's $20 to attend. You can pay in NZD, AUD, or USD.

⏩ "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb Hello Reader, An AI Working Group ships projects. Tools are changing faster than humans can keep up. Most teams and organisations are throwing Copilot or Claude licenses to their crew, with a quick 'good luck!' and maybe an inscrutable warning about token counts. Making mistakes can be costly, when you rely on a paycheck. There isn't a structure for risk-taking or innovation with AI in corporate teams,...

🏎️ “AI agents don’t have a speed limit, but the person managing them still does.” - Kieran Klaasen Hello Reader, The fastest way to build a disappointing AI agent is to begin with a vague, grand ambition. “Handle my marketing for me.” “Run all our customer service.” “Become my chief of staff.” Those are only aspirations, not workflows. An agent cannot reliably operate within a fog bank. A useful agent starts with clear goals: Turn this meeting transcript into decisions, owners, deadlines, and...

📊 “Context engineering is the strategic process of selecting, packaging, and managing the most relevant information for each step.” - Antonio Gullí Hello Reader, In July 2025, Gartner told AI leaders that “context engineering is in, and prompt engineering is out.” The past year, people on the bleeding edge of AI have been paying attention to framing. 💡 Context engineering prepares everything prior to the prompt. Even the best prompts will fail without the right context. Giving AI backstory...
