Overview

Let's look back at this year, which marked the lowest number of articles ever posted on Mirori-HP.

Last year's summary is here↓

 

What Articles Did I Write?

  • Started tracking my runs with Garmin
  • Read a bit and wrote some book reviews
  • Played quite a bit of video games
  • Graduated from my height-adjustable desk

That's about it.

 

The Reason for Fewer Articles: Lack of Time

Daytime work has increased, encroaching on my other time. It's a detestable situation that makes me sick, but I realized, "Even so, I'm still keeping up with exercise". When you're short on time, it becomes clear what unconsciously takes priority in your life.

What I Keep Doing Even When Short on Time

  • Running and weight training
  • Stretching exercises
  • Playing Splatoon with friends
  • Foreign language circle with friends

What I Stopped Doing Due to Lack of Time

  • Solo gaming
  • Striving for higher scores in Splatoon
  • Dressing up properly
  • Reading

That's how it is.

Midori seems to prioritize keeping her body healthy and conversing with friends when time becomes limited. And she tends to put aside things like aiming for high scores in games or enhancing her education.

 

Happy New Year

This year was... hard to call a usual year due to the long periods of being overwhelmed with busyness. Although I made an effort to actively engage in conversations with others, sometimes I found myself showing disinterest. Faced with several life-altering decisions, I chose one amidst my indecision, and I'm still in the midst of uncertainty. I wish I could stop constantly thinking about the options I didn't choose.

One good thing I wrote about recently was starting "serious stretching before bed." This has significantly alleviated my insomnia.
