A third of the year has gone by already, that pace just feels unreal. Good thing I didn't take any resolutions, but how about the themes for this year that I mused about at the beginning of the year? I have not been following them in any systematic way. Fundamentals had to make way for the ephemeral topic for which I had to put time in out of necessity (not too fond about that...). I try to counterbalance it by what I choose to study in the remaining time, which never quite feels enough, certainly not enough to revisit what I do from first principles. I also didn't rebuild anything from scratch, but in some way that might actually be a good sign, indicating that nothing was broken beyond repair.
Lastly, while I didn't have much dedicated time for contemplation, when I am thinking about the decade to come, I come to the conclusion that going forward I need to adjust my themes: take much more active care of health and fitness, trying to systematically get rid of unnecessary stuff, finding one big topic to deeply focus on and trying not to spread myself too thin.
