- Description: In the Supra layer of the PIOS I use the template to review the past year, while planning for the next one. Here is my first attempt at doing this. Last year I wasn't able to get it done in time, but I won't make that mistake this year!

## Gratitude

I’m grateful for my family. I realized young that spending time with loved ones is a key part of life.

My roommate, our dynamic allows for little conflict, happy times watching and eating together, and he has been super kind/helpful about rent since I have been making so little.

## Macro: Quarterly Review

Since I did not do the reviews each quarter I am doing it at the end of the year.

## Q1

### Four Pillars (Areas of Life and Life Lessons)

At this point I was managing the last little bit of my interviews, and I also wanted to start up the OmniContent again. I was feeling the early stages of burnout. Also I had recently quit teaching in the pool, which was a big change for me.

### Modular Degree (New things learned)

Not a whole lot during this time, as I was mainly playing catch up.

### Habit Check

Failed to do journalling, and exercise was scattered in the year. Did too much heavy stuff, and not enough muscle groups.

### Personal Brand Review Check

I lacked consistency, but I do feel that there was a lot of depth in the content I did make. It seems that there were a lot of polypro posts in the works in the first two quarters of the year. I did file my LLC and made all of my business related accounts.

## Q2

### Four Pillars (Areas of Life and Life Lessons)

This was around the start of the Summer, and I had a lot of feelings of longing for my classes. Not only cause I missed my clients, but also the feeling of normalcy from teaching regularly.

While I like change and innovation, there usually has to be at least one layer in my life of “same-ness”, and I had lost all of my layers at this point.

### Modular Degree (New things learned)

Spent a lot of time with philosophy this year, and had also played around with a lot of software. From website tools to livestream tools.

### Habit Check

Exercise seemed to be on the rise, but quickly fell off at the end of the quarter.

### Personal Brand Review Check

N/A

### Content and Bullet Journal Check

Started to get in the habit of things, but I was still struggling with the elusive “30 posts” that I had terrorizing me all year.

## Q3

### Four Pillars (Areas of Life and Life Lessons)

July was a whirlwind for me. Not just because of a romantic connection coming and going, but also from the job that I had gotten. 3 out of 4 of my Pillars were out of whack, and it took the meditation and philosophy from the Spirit pillar to bring me back.

I realized I could rely on stoicism and taoism when I was in need, and the wisdom there would be able to guide me. I had a practical experience with them when having mini panic attacks.

### Modular Degree (New things learned)

It was around this time that I was digging into how to make my Modegree template better, and so I stopped learning as much to focus on that. Or I learned about making Notion templates too.

### Habit Check

Workouts were sparse in the gym, but I did work out in the pool quite a bit over the summer.

No meditation habits this year, but I did spend some time doing it this season.

### Personal Brand Review Check

Revamped how the brand looks, and consistently had been updating my website to follow suit. FInding new ways to spice it up, and add more features.

### Content and Bullet Journal Check

Content started getting a bit more regular towards the end of the quarter which is good.

## Q4

### Four Pillars (Areas of Life and Life Lessons)

**Body** wise I feel a bit too fat for my liking still, but stronger than I have been in a year and half. Seriously I can pick up most people with rather ease, doing hanging crunches, benching a new max.

**Mind,** I am stimulated quite often, and trying out new things. Really trying at this very moment to learn to program again so that I can make a video game.

**Spirit,** while not as active of a pillar as it was in the Summer or Q3\. There was a time spent around halloween working at the SPIRIT store ironically. Lot of life lessons I had there just by being in a different environment.

**Emotions,** I find that I am pretty regulated until a certain point. While in the past I would get hyper at that point, there wouldn’t be a panic or level of upset. Just excitement from the new stimuli or stress. However since the July roller coaster of emotion I had this year, there has been hints of panic or anxiety that I hadn’t faced before.

### Modular Degree (New things learned)

I’ve been finally adding more to my degree recently, and spending a chunk of time learning. From chatGPT to programming and CS50\. I’m getting back into gear of learning. This year was far on the side of creating rather than learning. So I hope next year is more balanced.

### Habit Check

While not consistent, I have been able to GET myself to go to the gym. Literally make myself go out of my way to do it.

I think my work habits are in order too, while a bit too loose for my liking. At least I am still doing them.

### Personal Brand Review Check

The phases fiasco that is going to be next year is going to make things a bit difficult, but I am ending off the year strong at least. From creating my Pensight page of courses and coaching bundles. There are a lot of monetization opportunities next year.

### Content and Bullet Journal Check

Content wise I have this yearly review thing to make and finish my PIOS blog post piece. I’ll be done with every piece of content I set out to achieve this year and more. There were a few pieces I sent off to the ideas pile instead of making them, but that was more of trimming the fat than anything else.

## Getting out of comfort zone

List three examples of going out of your comfort zone:

1. Go to three new bar locations to try out different scenes.
2. Travel to another state to explore a new city. Probably Austin.
3. Start livestreaming.

## How well did I accomplish goals and projects?

While the projects saw a push in progression, I think I failed all three of my goals. One of which was to post 60 days of content daily. While I didn’t do that, there was at least one piece of content a week all year, and honestly I got pretty close to daily many months.

## Planning Manifestation for Future

### What is the ideal theme of the next year?

Poly- PHASE-ic, a pun on the polyphasic sleep cycle system, as with PolyInnovator I have my phases. I think next year is a juggling year. Where I have to forego the 80/20 rule. Honestly it feels like it is going to have to be 60/10/10/10/10 in all seriousness because I have to bring multiple niches forward in progress.

### What are the goals you wish to accomplish?

Release the PIOS Template early in the year

Post 5 tiktoks/shorts/reels of gaming content a day for 45 days

Get to 1000 YT Subscribers

### What are the big projects needing to get done?

Personal Training Clients

Notion Templates

Modegree System

### What phase of PolyInnovator are you in?

1 - Modular Education  
2 - PolyCast Interviews  
3 - PolyInnovator Gaming  
4 - PolyInContent and Repurposing
