Improvise Adapt Overcome

Day 244 / 366

With August coming to an end today, we just have 4 out of 12 months left for this year. And with this being a leap year, the number of days gone, which is 244, is also exactly two-thirds of the total number of days. Just some random fact that amuses me.

It’s funny how at the beginning of every year we all dare to dream that this would be our year. We will fix all the things that have been going wrong. We will break the old bad habits and make new good ones. On the 1st of January, we are all so naive and full of hope.

But as the year goes on, reality kicks in. Things do not go as planned. And by the time you reach August 31, all of the initial goals are forgotten. You are barely holding on to get to the end of the year with as minimal damage as possible.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Let’s break the year into 3 parts. The first 2 parts are done. Even if they did not go well for you, let’s take the L on them and forget about them. Starting tomorrow is the last part of the year. 122 days. A lot can be accomplished in these 4 months.

Plans are meant to be changed. There will always be external factors that you can't control. You should learn how to change your plans to match your new reality. So that’s what my plan is. Tomorrow will be a fresh start, with the goal of making the most of the 4 months that are left for 2024.
