It’s been a while here! I had told myself back in January 2024 that I will build this blog/journal repository over the year. Not like a commitment that I will write daily, but with a certain consistency. I also planned to use this space to visually journal my trades. Lol..all of that..Pfff! Infact yesterday I hit ‘Publish’ on a post that I had written and kept in draft since January 2024! Damn!

BUT

I am not beating myself up. While this was one of the priority I had set for 2024, this wasn’t the only one.

Clearly, writing on wordpress and building a blog repository wasn’t a priority. Or rather, it got pushed back in my to do list every day. What else did I do?

Work, trading, exercise, posting videos of my workout on social media, playing football, playing other sports with my team at work, running 5Ks, walking 10k steps while listening to audiobooks/podcasts, taking vacation and travelling. All of these, I pretty much did consistently throughout 2024.

Over the past few years, I’ve been inspired and motivated to do so many things. The curiousness to learn and implement so many cool stuff has built a drive in me like never before in my life. What’s the problem then? Time!

It’s not like I haven’t told this to myself many many times over the past few years, yet I repeat the same. One has to take less on their plate to be consistent on meaningful priorities.

I have been pushing myself with unrealistic number of things to do. The other side of the coin however, is that keeping my plate full is also one reason why I was able to get done many other things, which then got pushed up in priority list! Am I making sense? Probably!

More on this later.
