147. February Monthly Curriculum: How I am Becoming Smarter and More Interesting (+ Key Framework)

147. February Monthly Curriculum: How I am Becoming Smarter and More Interesting (+ Key Framework)

One of my goals for 2026 is to learn something new every single month — without feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or like I’m trying to do everything at once. In this episode, I’m introducing my monthly curriculum framework: a repeatable structure I’m using to stay engaged with my life, learn new things, spend less time doom scrolling, and actually make progress on the hobbies and interests I care about. I walk through the full framework step by step, explain why I’m doing this, and then share my February monthly curriculum - including what I’m reading, learning, practicing, and prioritizing this month. If you’ve ever felt like you have too many interests and not enough time, or you want more intention and structure in your free time without turning life into another to-do list, this episode is for you.
