Procrastinating hard on what and how to write, what I want to change in 26 and what went well I believe I finally found that zen that I should write. And this would be one of my number one priority for 2026.
Books
Couldn’t read as much as I had wanted, had read a few books but I feel I should keep them on a re-read list.
- Man’s search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Had read a few more but I don’t probably remember it so shouldn’t be something that I would like to think more on.
Reading more books is something I would strive for. Picking up genres that I wouldn’t look forward for.
Writing
I feel sad about 2025 that even though it was something I planned a lot and something I started enjoying 2 years back, I couldn’t do anything. At this point it doesn’t feel procastination, this is something I think about, get ideas on the fly but I just forget about them.
Seeing just a post in 2025 kind of feels weird, where did all the content that I consumed go? I kind of mass consumed a lot of content but produced none. Did reading all of the technical, philosophical things even mean anything? Maybe it did, but given my memory span I doubt that I remember anything. This is to be fixed in 2026. Not because I want to write in 2026, but because when I look back at 2026 a year later, I feel proud and happy with myself. Would be writing for myself, doesn’t matter if it matters to someone else.
Fitness
Even though I played Squash and was into a lot of physical activity in the early half of 25, I didn’t improve a lot on my physical fitness. Maybe my consumption of alcohol greatly overpowered the good that sports was doing for me. For the following few months, I kind of stopped everything and was mostly at home post my graduation which took a hit on my active fitness. This went on till September when I relocated to London for my first job. Started gym for the first time in life, cut down alcohol consumption drastically, I occasionally go out for runs (london parks are so nice). I feel much better. November first week to Dec last week I can see a change in myself. Have more muscle, feel more energetic during the day and this is something I would like to continue entirely in 2026.
Travel
2025 was a year of travel for me. Not that I did travel to very unique locations but I felt I never travelled so much in the past in a year. Travelling always gives me that sense of pleasure that there is always more to the world, and the point of settling to one location is not justified. I always loved travelling in places of natural beauty, where there is less crowd and I could get a sense of calm when I sit for a while. Now that I am living in London and Europe, known for its natural beauty, is so close to me I plan on taking a lot of solo adventures for myself, discovering things I didn’t know.
