January 2026

It’s cold outside…

Well, at least that’s how it was one or two hours ago. Now it has become much warmer!

Now then, where to begin?

January 5

Let’s try to wrap up the pending tasks first, before getting to the core ones. I suppose I should take it slow to avoid burning myself out.

I have one month left before kickstarting the new journey, which means I need to act quickly. I have gotten better at acting quickly, so… let’s do my best!

Also, I should remember to spend time for my own wellbeing.

Let’s smash it!

January 9

It’s cold outside… and cold inside too! (when I say “inside”, I mean indoors)

I think I’m gonna stay at home today. I need to clean my room a little. And to prepare for tomorrow’s visit.

I really want to note down something, but I suppose… well, just let it be!

January 11

This week, I’m not traveling back to my hometown. I’m staying where I am. So…

Here I am, in the coffee shop again! Trying to resume & finish my tasks as soon as possible.

Let’s see what I can do today. Maybe I should take it slow; after all, it’s the weekend!

If only I could “wake” up soon… But I suppose, just let it be!

January 12

Today has been quite an unusual day.

It started in a quite messy manner. First, I left my laptop at home, so I had no choice but to return home to get it.

Second, when I already got it, I realized something was wrong with it. As much as I hated it, I had to abandon my schedule to pay a visit to the computer repair shop.

I thought I was done for…

But somehow, this “detour” forced me to slow down and reconsidered everything so far. And I decided to take advantage of the time to do a few things I have delayed for quite a long time.

So, what started messily ended up neatly.

I hope I can keep up this self-discipline spree for the next 30 days.

Well, I guess that’s it for today!

January 13

It’s raining outside…

What do you see or feel when you look at the rain?

I’ve long been fascinated by rain. It’s dark, it’s gloomy, yes. But it’s also mysterious. Especially if it rains in the morning.

Anciently mysterious. As if something that has been long forgotten is now visible again.

January 14

I’m moving into an office today. The coffee shop is somehow so noisy that I’m afraid it may interrupt my ability for deep work and focus.

I’m going to stay here for one month – until the Lunar New Year.

Let’s sort things out now – I guess today I will take it slow. Tomorrow I can get back to real work.

Ok, let’s do it!

Tenki gaa iikara, hajimemashou!

January 15

I have been so engrossed in my thinking that I somehow forgot to note things down.

Anw, let’s try to be disciplined – even if it’s only for about one minute.

Today I woke up later than usual. Somehow – even though I went to bed early yesterday – tiredness hasn’t spared me yet.

Though compared to a few days ago, I think I have found my vitality again – after a few gymming sessions. Let’s try to keep up the work then!

January 16

I had a few things to do this morning, so I came to the office later than usual.

It’s Friday, so maybe I can be a little more laissez-faire today.

Next week is gonna be the real start of the race. The 4-week race.

As of now, let’s do something that I have been considering for a long time. I’m not sure whether it is the correct choice, but let’s figure it out along the way.

Well then, enjoy!

January 19

A new week has started – now I have 4 weeks to race: trying to finish two important tasks of mine!

I suppose let’s start with the easier one this morning – and start rolling the other in the afternoon. When I already have some kind of momentum (maybe 1-2 days later), let’s try to split the day into two halves.

Somehow it feels a little hot in the office, even though the conditioner is turned on. I hope it will not last long.

Now let’s have some coffee!

Tenki gaa iikara, hajimemashou!

January 20

Yesterday went a little differently than expected. Though I believe I’m still on the right track – for now.

Let’s get back to work then. Time is running out, so I need to be mindful of what I’m doing – right here, right now.

January 26

3 weeks left…

Btw, something a little unexpected just popped up yesterday? I wonder, is it an omen?

Should I heed it, or not?

It may buy me a little time, though I cannot help but wonder, is it worth it at all?

It may give me the chance to practice before “venturing” out into the sea. That’s one point to consider. And it may also help me sustain for a while.

Though it does mean I have to be creative a little – for a while.

Let me think about it later tonight. As of now, let’s just get back to what’s on the plate.
