Today’s post is a bit of a cop out because I’ve been spending time with my family and just enjoying Christmas festivities/all of the food.
I’ll be writing a wrap-up post for 2016 and a 2017 goals post in the coming days, but for now I just wanted to reflect a bit on some things I’ve been working hard at this past year that have impacted my productivity. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade?
In summer 2015, I had a baseball accident that gave me a concussion and a lot of medical appointments. In 2016, one of my main personal goals was to work on getting my jaw back to working order, and one surgery and a lot of physiotherapy later, it’s just about there. Not quite, but almost.
The biggest challenge from this injury was dealing with post-concussion syndrome and coming to terms with my new brain. I still struggle quite a bit with my crumbier memory and how my brain processes things, but in 2017 I’m hoping to master a new way of thinking and organizing my thoughts and workflow.
I’ve invested in a really nice notebook and a premium todoist account, so I’m going to see if that helps me ring in the new year on a positive/less forgetful note.
I still play baseball; I haven’t let the injury stand between me and one of my favourite activities, but I have been limited in how active I am as different activities cause me small setbacks in my rehabilitation. It’s been a frustrating injury, but after focusing on the mechanics of my jaw in 2016, I’m ready to focus on getting my brain and body back in proper working order.
Has life given you some lemons this year? How are you making lemonade out of them?
