Doing 2 bold things every month

In 2026, I'm committing to doing 2 bold things every month. Research shows novel experiences slow down time.

At the turn of this new year, I was reflecting on 2025 and was astonished at just how fast it had flown by!

The simple takeaway: if you want time to slow down, do more new and bold things.

By “bold” I mean something outside my normal routine that requires initiative, discomfort, or risk. Nothing too extreme or overwhelming — just different.

So I made a rule: 2 bold things every month

I’m excited to try this playful challenge out and see where it takes me. I’ll keep the list below updated as the months progress.

January

1. I flew to Miami for an intensive yoga immersion to deepen my practice of Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and meditation.
2. Booked a 1 month bungalow in Atlanta to lock in, do creative work, and experiment with agentic engineering.

February

1. I did a 14-day business immersion — built a micro-SaaS, practiced cold-emailing some clients and partners, and practiced promotion, distribution, marketing, and sales. Coming from a career background as a full-time software engineer, this was way outside my comfort zone.
2. I embarked on a 13-day road trip exploring Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Drove 2,000+ miles over 6 weeks.

March

1. Started this blog and published every day for 20 days.
2. Connected 1-on-1 with 3 different online creators I admire and follow on social media.
