Preface#
I have found that my procrastination has become more and more serious. In December, I planned to write a summary of this year, but I kept putting it off and it's still not done in 2024. Now, I'm taking advantage of work time to write a summary while slacking off.
Summary#
Looking back on this whole year, time has passed so quickly, and it's already over in a hurry.
Overall, this year has been relatively ordinary.
Work: There were no ups and downs in my work this year. To a large extent, I don't have to work overtime and can leave on time. After all, money and freedom are always something to be obtained. However, the overall environment this year is not good. Major companies have clearly reduced their hiring, and there have been frequent news of layoffs (but I'm used to it, it happens every year).
Life: I have been infected with COVID-19 several times this year, and my health is not as good as before. There are obvious after-effects. I bought a bicycle this year and joined the cycling circle, claiming that cycling can help with weight loss. Haha, my body is actually getting fatter. I tried to lose weight for two months in the middle, but I really couldn't lose any weight.
Hiking/Photography: At the beginning of the year, I climbed mountains with a hiking group a few times. During a night climb, I witnessed a fellow climber fracturing their leg. Danger is always present. Photography, a former passion, has gradually faded. Now, I only bring my camera occasionally when climbing mountains and take photos of sunsets.
Learning: I have always wanted to read some books (technical and non-technical) to improve myself. After finishing one book, I forgot about this plan, maybe it's just not suitable for me. I don't know when it started, but I found that my enthusiasm for learning new technologies has been slowly decreasing. Even when slacking off, I just stare into space. Could it be because I'm getting older?
Regret: After drifting in a big city for several years, I am still talentless and empty-handed.
2024 Plans#
This year, I want to try to write weekly or monthly reports. I found that my writing skills are very poor and I want to improve myself. I also like staying up late.
Photography/Cycling: I don't want to abandon my former passion. I will still find time to go out and explore, climb mountains I haven't been to. Ride my bicycle to farther places and challenge myself with 100/150 kilometers (I have weak legs).
Reading: I still want to persist in reading books, as soft skills are really important. I plan to change my strategy and listen to books instead.
And most importantly, I hope to meet the one destined for me in 2024!
