the next loop

too much on my plate

Last month was quite hard for me personally. I started the year full of excitement about the projects I wanted to realize. However, I wasn’t in the best place mentally, and working on side projects became really difficult. My motivation was low, and progress was slow. I eventually decided to abandon an iOS app I had been working on after realizing that the problem I wanted to solve didn’t actually exist.

Letting go of something I had worked so hard on was tough, but it needed to be done.

For February 2025, I set five personal goals. I achieved none of them.

For March 2025, I’ve decided to take a different approach. I have only one objective—to improve my mental well-being. I needed to simplify my life because it had become too overwhelming. As difficult as it is to resist staying busy all the time or jumping into another side project, I have to prioritize myself first. I trust that when the time is right, meaningful work will come effortlessly.
