2025 Wrap-Up

What are you proud of from 2025? I’ll start: I didn’t kill anyone this year, which means I’ve finally broken a long streak. And I learned how to draw. I even drew this picture myself!
I’m being funny, of course — I didn’t “kill” myself either, and I actually learned to draw with the help of AI.
But jokes aside, what I’m truly proud of is learning how to manage stress. It wasn’t easy. I had to prioritize sleep and movement. I’m not saying they override everything else, but it would take something very serious for me to skip my eight hours of sleep and my daily 1–2 hours of morning exercise. And voilà — if I stick to these, even during the end-of-year rush, I don’t burn myself out. Yay.
The other thing I hinted at is using AI. It has become more and more integrated into my daily life — not mindlessly, of course. I’d compare using AI at work versus not using it to carrying bricks 100 meters by hand versus using a wheelbarrow. One way is simply easier and faster.
Happy New Year!
