That’s it.

Christmas came and went just like that.

2025 is basically done.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the new year and what I want to achieve. Also looking back on this year and wondering how I got through without setting any goals.

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas. Now that it’s over, what are you looking forward to in the new year?

Do you have a list as long as your arm packed with unrealistic things you want to achieve? Did you achieve your goals in 2025?

I’m working on my list. First writing everything down, then consolidating, re-writing, re-thinking, consolidating again. I don’t want to have more than 5 on my list of ‘things’ for 2026. It’s currently about 15.

It’s completely unacceptable that I’ve drifted through 2025 with no goals.

Sure, I’ve still achieved a lot, but that’s just because I usually do well at the task at hand. But all this without direction, is completely wasted. So, regretfully I won’t look back at 2025 with pride.

Here’s to a new version of me in 2026 🥂. I hope I don’t come back to this post next year with any regrets.
