Week 1 of 2026
This year I want to publish weeknotes, following the example of Denis and Eduardo.
It has been a slow week because of the holidays. I didn’t do too much and had some nice rest. We didn’t travel during the holidays so we have been just chilling in family.
I feel this New Year the fireworks in Berlin were less noisy than the last. We contributed to pollution (regular, not noise) by burning some sparklers.
Updates
- I’m bullet journaling again. It helps me to declutter my mind and to remember things. I want to be more consistent than last year
- Doing some light exercise daily. I want to become more active
- Using my phone less. I’ve also set the screen to grayscale to reduce visual estimulation
- Sold the DIY Eurorack modules that I never soldered
- Reached level 4 in WaniKani. I’ve been learning some Kanji. I should be prioritizing German but the heart wants what it wants
