The 2025 Manifesto
2024 has been an year of ups and downs.
I let a lot of things fall in place without actively taking participating and being in control of things. Sometime in 2022, i realized i am going though a burnout, and i wasnt happy about it. I decided to stop taking a step back from all the side projects and focus on living a life. What started as a temporary break, turned into a long one. And i feel I am a totally different person from who i was earlier.
It wasnt that bad as I lived through it, But when i look back, I really acheive much in the process. Although i enjoyed my time during this phase, in the hindsight, i feel i did not acheive much. It feels like, the geek in me is dying, and the hustler in me is taking a back seat most often than not.
I dont want to be that guy. In 2025, i promise myself to live intentionally. Have control on things that I want to do, and spend time on things that I can actually take my life to the next level.
I am not gonna procrastinate. I am gonna go through a major digital detox, and clean up my mind. I will remove my dependency on my digital device and internet. What turned out to be a way for me to connect with the world, has now become a way for me to kill time. I have to go through this transition. I cant live the rest of my life as a dopamine junkie from this black mirror.
2025 is for productivity,
2025 is for greater learning,
2025 is for more meaningful relations
It is a cliche to start of the new year with these resolutions. But I guess it is necessary step at the moment.
