We are in the 10th year of this column launched by Chris Brogan on his blog, which many bloggers have followed. Last year I wondered "what 2020 will bring us", ignoring the unpleasant surprises it would instead bring. The decade is over and another has just begun. May the 3 words therefore serve as a guide for us this year both in writing and in work and in life in general. My 3 words from Have you missed a number of past columns? As always, here is the list of all the previous "issues": challenge, focus, austerity 2013 : consistency, goals, experiments 2014 : specialization, determination, innovation change, sharing, awareness 2016 : resolution, authorship, independence 2017 : continuity, value, commitment: time, puzzles, self-esteem 2019 : futurism, poetry, classics 2020 : philosophy, professionalism, history How did my 2020 words go? As usual I don't get them all right.
But the commitment was there. Philosophy : I have only read 3 philosophical works and all by Nietzsche. Not much, to tell the truth, since I promised myself to broaden my philosophical knowledge. Professionalism : I said that a novel cannot be Special Data written in a hurry. Exactly one year ago I wrote that I had completed 2 chapters of my usual novel (actually rewritten from scratch): in a year I wrote another 18. Few? Many? I don't know, but for me professionalism means doing things well. History : This word didn't go down very well either, having only read about ten historical books. My 3 words for 2021 I have never looked for the 3 words for the new year well in advance, but always in the last days of December. In fact, I found the last word on the 28th or 29th.
The first two came quite quickly, the third was an inspiration born from multiple connections. Results I would like to see results : the meaning, although obvious, is this. Results in writing, in work, in life in general. This word is linked to the last, but also to the second. To see results I have to work harder, but also introduce new things and innovations into my reality. Renovation In a certain sense I have already started, renovating the "technological" workstation. But by renewal I mean radical changes in various areas of my life, not just in my writing and work. And once again this word is connected to the last one, because to renew oneself one must not laze or wallow in the quagmire of inaction, but work. Work And we are at the last word: work .
