Nearly Half of 2026 is Gone, What are you Doing?
Today I lost a customer who had been with me for about 3 years. As I was contemplating the loss, it also dawn on me that half of the year is gone. I do my best not to waste time by cutting back on social media and YouTube. Nevertheless, I still feel guilty of wasting my life as I always feel I am running out of time.
We are not exactly in the middle of the year yet, but it is still good to take time and ponder about first half of the year. I think I did okay over this period. I maintained my diet and I only drank excessively once. I still managed to spent time with the family but I have also set a boundary on certain things that my family should not cross. I am still pursuing my insurance certification program. I have also automated part of my business. I regularly volunteer at the local recycling center. My sleep have also improved. Despite all these, I still feel like an underachiever.
The sense of lack of achievement still bothers me. Deep down I know I can do so much more and I am not doing it. I should be able to further automate my business, expand my business and writing long form entries for this blog. I have made a few long form drafts but it all died of a premature death. I have the courage to write quick blog entries but lack the courage to write long form. Long form is a true test of understanding and willingness to spend hours of wring that may lead to nowhere.
Half a year is gone. We cannot unturn the clock of time. We can only make use of what we have left. Maybe instead of doing more, we should aim to do less. Less social media, less gaming, less all nighters. Doing less should be less intimidating that doing more.
