It was a strange year.
Ali Abdaal recommends making an annual review and provided a template. Here are my answers.
Stuff I’m grateful for
I got to travel to Iceland during the pandemic.
My income decreased in 2020 but nothing to be concerned about, I am grateful for that.
Everyone in my family is healthy. My mom and grandma had COVID-19, but they developed only mild symptoms, and we weren’t even worried.
Stuff I discovered this year
I like traveling more than I expected.
Blogging. I started a blog and kept writing every day and started to like it.
Life lessons
Pandemic was so unexpected that it messed up a lot of my life: health, exercise, diet, meetings with friends, my finances. I was not prepared. I need to plan and adapt better.
Stuff to work on for next year
Be more productive. I feel I didn’t achieve as much as I could have.
I started this year really well. I got up every day at 5 am and went to the gym. Every day! It was the first time in my life that I managed to create a habit like that. And then the pandemic happened. Gyms closed. Running outside was prohibited. I stopped exercising altogether. For next year I need to establish new habits to exercise every day.
