Praxis Projects — 2026 Q1
To demonstrate the power of The Praxis Way, I’m tracking several personal Praxis Projects during the first quarter of 2026. These are areas where I want to apply clarity, intentional action, and outcome-based learning.
Each project follows the Praxis Cycle:
Better Decisions → Intentional Actions → Better Outcomes
These quarterly cycles help me stay focused, build capability, and demonstrate how intentional action creates meaningful progress.
1. Pickleball Skill Development
Goal:
Progress toward a 4.0 level of competitiveness.

Joy, health, mastery, and expanding community connection.
2. Two-Handed Tennis Backhand
Goal:
Build a backhand stroke that is competitive at a 4.5 level.

Focus Areas:

4. Mindfulness Practice

Why These Projects Matter
These projects are practical and meaningful. They are also measurable, trackable, and ideal for demonstrating how the Praxis Cycle generates real progress. Each one provides a different arena for practicing intentional action—physical, creative, cognitive, and reflective.
At the end of the quarter, I will share my outcomes:
- what worked
- what didn’t
- what I learned
- and how I will refine the next cycle
