What January Taught Me About Progress
from One Year, No Excuses Hosted by Chris Hawkins
After my firstfull month of living out One Year, No Excuses, I realized something important: measuring progress daily might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, I reflect on what January taught me—not as a checklist or a scorecard, but as an honest snapshot of where I am. I talk through each of my primary goals, what actually worked, what didn’t, and how I’m considering shifting fromdaily perfection to weekly perspective has changed my motivation. This isn’t a “monthly check-in.” It’s a reset in how I think about progress. I also share updates on: My faith journey and what consistency really looks like Diet, movement, and sustainable health habits Reading my first book of the year Learning AI and building practical skills Podcast progress, workflow struggles, and publishing anyway Plus, I tease an upcoming episode on my trip to Iceland, a new mini-series on everyday AI use cases, and a special guest conversation on accountability and motivation—whathelps, what hurts, and what actually moves us forward. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because you missed a day, this one’s for you.
