A little systems seeing adventure for the new year. The idea is sketch-journaling to better understand the situations we’re in, and care about. And if that is interesting, the “starter kit” offers prompts to help get that practice going.
A Month in System Seeing: Journal Starter Kit (2025 edition)
This pulls the #AdventOfSystemSeeing prompts together in one place, and adds several more to make it a month.

A quick post to say:
2024 was as eventful as I thought it would be.
There were highlights (podcast, book).
There were lowlights (type 2 diabetes, losing 3 months to stress)
But I have high hopes for 2025.
More big goals.
More big fears.
Let's see how this goes!
