I spent the first half of the year trying to be awesome in a way that required willpower and hard work that I didn't want to do. I spent the second half of the year trying to be awesome in a way that I totally enjoyed the entire time, never had to force myself into, and involved loads of hard work that I loved every minute of.

My not-so-humble opinion is that it worked out pretty well.

Please expound?

It's not as simple as I just made it sound, and no I won't expound here right now, but I am planning to do a "year one of rationality, in review" a little later. The specific applications won't generalize for most people but hopefully some of the underlying thought processes will be useful.

Looking forward to it!
