Welcome to the year 12025 human era. For me this will be the year of less.

Last year was intensive. We got a child, our own house, we did renovations, work also got more intensive, we moved, we learned to live with a kid and it felt like a constant run against the clock to get the thousand different things somehow sorted. It was worth it for sure, but it was costing a lot of energy. Last year was unsustainable.

So, to get back on track and be a more pleasant human being for me and for the people around me, I decided that this year will be the year of less. This means: Less things that we have to do, less stuff, less struggle, less good intentions, less ongoing unfinished business. I probably still try to accomplish too much, and this has become a bad habit. I realized that at the end of the day, doing a few things good is probably more rewarding than doing many things half-hearted and leave them unfinished for way too long.

12025 will be also a turbulent and troublesome year. And it helps for the personal resilience to get your sh*t together and don’t feel constantly overloaded with everything. Being a father is already enough to fill most days, even without the unpleasant times ahead. I do see a need for adaptation and overall resilience in order to master the stormy waters ahead.

So, this is my new years resolution. 12025 for me will be the year of less. Because less is more. I believe it will be good thing 😀
