As we approach a new year, most people start their year by making resolutions. Things they would love to do or achieve. It's a common thing to set new goals for ourselves during this period. While some people feel the new year is just another day, others see it as the beginning of something or a time for them to start something new.
But sometimes, I wonder if we have to really wait a long time or a new year to start something that we can start today.
To some extent, I believe that you don't really have to wait till tomorrow or a new year to start something that you know very well that you can start today. So why wait?
For me, one thing I want to prioritize in the coming year, is “Reading”. I used to love reading, either hard copy books or ebooks. There was the time that I couldn't go a week without reading at least one or two books but all of a sudden, I lost my flair for reading and all I mostly do for my free time was just press my phone, laugh at stupid jokes, watch movies and just spend time scrolling through my phone.
I can't remember the last time I held a book to read and i must confess that I missed the feeling of fulfilment I used to get after I was done reading a book. I didn't notice until later how much the lack of reading had affected my writing skill as I lack inspiration to make a post.
So this coming year, I want to prioritize reading more but I am not waiting till the new year starts before getting into it because I asked myself “what if I keep procrastinating and I still don't do it?”, So I have started reading, though not at the same pace as I used to but I am going to be taking it one book at a time till I get back my flair for reading.
I really want to watch how I spend my time which is going to be less on unnecessary things and more on things that matter because like they say “time waits for no one”. There are lots of things most of us have that we are yet to achieve, myself included. So I want to ensure I put more efforts in achieving them.
