Welcome to Weekly Wonderings, a newsletter exploring the journey towards Digital Self-Actualization:

realizing our meaningful potential through the synthesis of digital tools, life management systems, and humanistic philosophies

Here's a quick galactic overview of this edition:

My central theme for 2024 has been alignment.

After reading Feel Good Productivity, I realized how my productivity systems were mostly optimized and personalized for getting things done. Beyond that, I wanted to put just as much effort on making sure those things were meaningful and relevant to my values and long-term goals.

This led me to create My Alignment Philosophy, the missing piece to my life operating system in the Ultimate Starter Vault.

After a year of incorporating it into my life and doing my weekly review, I appreciate the way it has reoriented me to live a holistic life where I can consciously evaluate whether my actions have been aligned with my ideal life and intentions.

I've spent a reasonable amount of time going through old periodic reviews and fleshing out my current headspace by answering prompts, and it's led to some reflections and insights I hope can be interesting food for thought for your own :)

I wasn't planning on sharing my yearly reflections and plans, but Nick's vulnerable and personal annual reflection inspired me to give one more passthrough at sharing mine.
