Dear Udhay and friends,
I am better at nothing important. I am worse at many things I expected
to be better at.
Humility is endless.
I am worse at, I am ashamed to say, love. Living cheek-by-jowl with the
five people I love the most has made me worse at love, not better.
I am worse at taking care of myself. No longer do I rock a physique
athlete body. Instead I feel my age, and bowed by cares.
I am better at drawing. I have blossomed artistically despite (because
of?) the distress in the world.
I am better at preparing for an unkind tomorrow.
I am just at good at holing up and waiting for things to get better.
I'm a decent tech lead. That hasn't changed.
I'm hanging in there as mother/daughter/wife. Putting in the time, even
though I don't always feel it.
I'm having a harder time finding the silver lining, but I still look for it.

Like it says.
What have you gotten better at in 2021? And what have you gotten
worse at?
In my own case, I think I've gotten better at delaying gratification
which has implications on (among other things) investing. Another
example of this is deciding to use my old car and computer for another year.
It's hard to imagine, but I think I've gotten even worse at single
tasking. Sustained focus on one single thing for a significant period of
time is harder than it used to be (and it wasn't that great earlier).
