It's going to be a fun year. It's going to be a strange year. It's going to be a year where I will try some things I never thought I would try. And no, I will not be doing anything extreme. I'm not going bungy-jumping or parachuting. Instead, I'm going to challenge myself to try new things.
I've begun to read non-fiction books. It started last year when I was looking for a process for storing digital information. I get info in my mailbox and find information on homepages that I would like to save for future use, but I don't know where to keep it so I can find it again. I stumbled upon Tiago Forte and his book 'Building a Second Brain' which describes how to save info. I also didn't know how to manage and prioritize my many small private and work-related tasks, so I started to get curious about productivity. I find many things exciting and had to hit the breaks and prioritize my health. To improve my health, I need new habits to replace unwanted practices I have adopted over the last few years. Therefore, I picked up 'Atomic habits' by James Clear, even though I'm not a person who reads self-help books. I usually think that they are superficial and oversimplify everything. The authors give the illusion that all you need to do is to follow one recipe, and everything works out, but that's not true. I'm looking forward to finding out what I think of the book.
I also have thought about whether or not I'm getting all the vitamins and minerals my body needs, but I don't want to use standard multivitamin pills. There are many different kinds, and figuring out which is best is challenging. Therefore, I've chosen to do something different by ordering Smart Supplement from Heights. They contain ingredients that are healthy for the brain. I'm very skeptical, and I'm also aware that nothing happens overnight. Furthermore, I know that if my body improves gradually, I won't necessarily notice it unless I stop taking the supplement. Well, I've bought the product, and I'll evaluate my health in 3-6 months.
See? That's two new things that I've started this year. I'm looking forward to what will be next.
