This week we discuss New Year’s Retrospectives. It’s that time of year when we look back on what we did, what we learned, and how we’ve changed, then chart a course for the coming year. Doug and Gabe dig into their processes for doing this and talk about how to apply it in a professional setting. They also discuss…

* Every kid’s favorite new year’s joke

* How resolutions are a time capsule

* The importance of mental hygiene

* How to clear your mental RAM

* The four stages of an annual retro

* Projects versus habits

* How to climb the ladder of abstraction

* And more
