00:00-00:57 - intro
00:58-02:12 - what is this 2026 project? (and what it's not)
02:13-03:26 - why monthly experiments?
03:27-06:19 - the experimental mindset
06:20-08:09 - step 1: mindmap
08:10-11:02 step 2: visualistion & vision boarding
11:03-12:15 - how to cultivate an experimental mindset
12:16-13:47 - my notion setup
13:48-15:40 - some of my experiments!
Having an experimental mindset means seeing failures as data points that you can learn from. It means being open to making mistakes because you know you're going to learn from them.
Listen, I know New Year is the time for dramatic change, all the ‘how to become unrecognisable’ and ‘change your life in 30 days’ videos are popping off. And I love that. If I could do that and have it create a long-lasting impact on my life, best believe I would.
However, I have suffered myself for almost 27 years at this point and so this video is not that. This video is a slow-and-steady wins the race approach, a year-long life improvement project that prioritizes the practical, the sustainable, and the actually feels good internally over the dramatic, aesthetic transformation. This project factors in things like the unrelenting ADHD demons plaguing my brain and the fickle mistress that is my motivation levels.
But in more literal terms it’s a series of pre-planned life-improvement experiments over the course of the next 12 months, tailored to fit my specific life-goals.
