Tabula Rasa
Jan. 2nd, 2026 09:55 amEvery new year we collectively agree that the previous year was a giant disaster and it's certain we'll look back on 2026 with the same attitude. While I'll acknowledge that a lot of awful events occurred in 2025, personally it was a pretty good year. Changing the world should make changing one self seem a walk in the park. My loose plans at self-improvement for 2026 are:
Follow a budget - My bills are in check which grants me some indulgence in discretionary spending. 2025 I went overboard however so this year, given the ever-increasing cost of living, my goal is to budget better. The details are a mundane topic better left for me to address offline.
Take a singing course - With 6 months of daily piano practice, I can sense my talents improving slightly. A singing course could complement that effort and may even come in handy for the occasional karaoke night.
Travel south of the equator - It recently occurred to me that none of my international trips have been in the southern hemisphere. I'm aiming for South America. More as it develops.
