My 2026 Arc

I'll continue working on timespent – and maybe another app too. 😉 I keep telling myself I should do more marketing (and I probably should), but I like product development much more. So while I'll keep an eye out for marketing opportunities, I won't put too much pressure on myself to do so.

I started learning Thai earlier in the year, but stopped after I got too busy developing apps. Now that timespent is 90% to feature complete, I've been slowly easing myself back into learning Thai. At first I was discouraged by how much I'd forgotten, but was able to get back into things fairly quickly. I'm trying a new approach where I'm prioritizing learning through Comprehensible Input, which involves listening to Thai without any English, flashcards, or other "study work". I'll still study using more traditional methods, but primarily as leverage to understanding more through Comprehensible Input faster. Let's see if I can hold basic conversations in Thai by the end of the year! 🙏

I'll continue working out, but I'm going to set goals for the Snatch and Clean & Jerk and focus my training around that. This might be ambitious for a relative beginner, but I'd like to reach a 75kg Snatch by the end of the year. 🏋️‍♂️

And a 100kg Clean & Jerk!

I read a blog post recently that framed socializing just like any other skill you need to practice to maintain. I think they called it "Social Fitness", and I like it. So I'll try to make a more conscious effort to reach out to friends, go to events, and meet new people. I'll treat it just like going to the gym. 💪 --- Feel free to create your own Arc and share your New Year's Resolutions too! ☀️
