Looking back at 2021

Every December I would review my year and every January set my resolutions for the year. 2021 was probably the most "blah" year of my life. But I know many people are in worse shape than I am so I am not complaining. Let's review based on my resolutions set for the year.

1) Improve my poker skills. 
I barely played any poker in 2021 compared to recent years but when I did I felt that I did play better than before. I did study some and my ranges have definitely improved. This year however I only managed two tournament cashes which at the end did not even update on Hendon so my Hendon Mob 8 year streak has come to a sad end. 

2) Be healthier.
I was doing well early in the year until I couldn't play football anymore and stayed home for months. But recently I have started a new diet of one meal a day and almost zero carbs. So far I am surprised I can stick to it as I love to eat. Let's see how long I can keep this going. 

3) Give 10% of my income.
Well I didn't really have any "income" per se in 2021 so I didn't really do much on this end. I did try my best to help out some friends at their time of need but not much else. However I offered my time and care to anyone I felt that needed it. Some of them I didn't know well but kind words from even a random "stranger" can sometimes make a difference. 

4) Look for a new project to work on
I had many ideas for 2021 but Covid restrictions really dashed most of them. It was really at my colonoscopy appointment I suddenly had the urge to look into Crypto again and since then it has just taken off. The height of it was in May 11th and since it has not returned to those levels yet but I believe it is just a matter of time. I think my strategy was somewhat flawed without taking profits up but still on paper it was a pretty good year. 

As "blah" as the year was, I did spend a month in Spain and two weeks in Czech so it was still an interesting end to the year. I hope 2022 will be a much better year.
