2019 was a blast!, 2020 is coming!

Reflecting on 2019 and setting goals for the new year

- 1 min read -

As 2019 comes to a close, I want to express my gratitude for everyone whose lives intersected with mine throughout the year.

Reflecting on 2019

While 2019 wasn’t dramatically different from previous years, a pilgrimage to Mecca for umrah significantly helped me endure the year.

Looking back at my college days, I can identify persistent negative habits—particularly avoiding extra effort in work and studies while struggling with socialization. These have been barriers preventing me from fully achieving my goals. I regret maintaining these patterns into adulthood.

Goals for 2020

For the new year, I’m setting these aspirational goals:

  • Tracking all of my money
  • Start doing exercises
  • Reading more books
  • Doing some research and online courses
  • Pursuing certification

The Pomodoro Technique

I discovered the Pomodoro technique this year—a time-management approach that has helped me accomplish tasks throughout the year. Highly recommended for anyone struggling with focus and productivity.


Goodbye 2019, and welcome 2020!

Be nice to me!!
