The year 2025 is passing by so quickly that I'm tempted to believe there's a parallel dimension where the day is shorter and that I've accidentally entered it.
Perhaps it's due to the lack of a strict routine and the fact that I can invest more time in my own thoughts that sometimes makes me lose track of space and time.
This year I had set small monthly goals, and I must admit that I haven't been able to fulfill any of them, perhaps because of that lack of routine.
The excuse of lack of time is often used when we fail to finish a task that had a deadline.
The truth is that it's very easy nowadays to fall into the clutches of procrastination, perhaps due to the constant distractions that this era has accustomed us to.
I admit that I haven't reached the goals I had set for myself at the beginning of the year simply and plainly because of procrastination.
The one I most regret having ignored is the goal of reading at least 2 books a month. In other times I was an avid reader capable of finishing books the size of Game of Thrones in a weekend.
Now technological distractions have set a trap for me and algorithms have hijacked my brain, making it dependent on the dopamine generated by the most bizarre contents imaginable.
So I'm behind on 24 books that I should have read during this year 2025.
Although I no longer have big goals in life, I believe it's important to set goals no matter how small they may be.
Of course there are goals that cannot be achieved, as in my case, due to lost time, but they can be reconsidered and adapted to a more appropriate pace until being completely back in shape.
I think that in addition to planning a routine that includes a specific time for all activities that have a process requiring daily exercise or practice, it would also be a good idea to keep a personal journal.
I confess that the idea doesn't appeal to me much, at least in a paper version, since I have the negative experience that in my parents' house there is no respect for private documents, and I have often found my or my sister's documents in the trash can.
Obviously that's a lost battle, since my father never understood that concept. I remember that the saved letters I had in a box disappeared from my desk when he decided to seize that piece of furniture for his personal use.
This last thing has made me think about what to do with family photos and documents, since I'm the youngest in the family and I'm approaching 50 years old and there are no heirs.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to digitize everything and start burning files, because if not even family respects documents, what won't strangers do.
And speaking of strange things, this entry certainly turned out to be quite odd!

El año 2025 está pasando tan rápido que estoy tentada a creer que hay una dimensión paralela en la que el día es más corto y que he entrado accidentalmente en ella.
Tal vez sea a causa de la falta de una rutina estricta y al hecho de que puedo invertir más tiempo en mis propios pensamientos lo que hace que a veces pierda la noción del espacio y tiempo.
Este año me había fijado pequeñas metas mensuales, y debo admitir que no he podido cumplir ninguna de ellas, tal vez a causa de esa falta de una rutina.
Suele usarse la excusa de la falta de tiempo cuando no llegamos a lograr terminar alguna tarea que tuviera una fecha límite.
Lo cierto es que es muy fácil caer hoy en día en las garras de la procrastinación, tal vez a causa de las distracciones constantes a la que esta era nos acostumbró.
Admito que no he alcanzado las metas que me había propuesto a inicios de año simple y llanamente por procrastinar.
La que más lamento haber ignorado es la meta de leer al menos 2 libros al mes. En otros tiempos fui una ávida lectora capaz de terminar libros del volumen de Juego de Tronos en un fin de semana.
Ahora las distracciones tecnológicas me han tendido una trampa y los algoritmos han secuestrado mi cerebro haciéndolo dependiente de la dopamina generada por los contenidos más bizarros imaginables.
Así es que estoy atrasada en 24 libros que debí haber leído durante este año 2025.
Aunque ya no tengo grandes metas en la vida, creo que es importante fijarse metas por más pequeñas que sean.
Claro que hay metas que no se pueden alcanzar, como en mi caso, debido al tiempo perdido, pero que se pueden replantear, y adaptarlas a un ritmo más adecuado hasta volver a estar completamente en forma.
Creo que además de planificar una rutina en la que incluya un tiempo específico para todas las actividades que tengan un proceso que requiera un ejercicio o práctica diaria, también sería buena idea llevar un diario personal.
Confieso que la idea no me atrae demasiado, al menos en una versión papel, ya que tengo la experiencia negativa de que en la casa de mis padres no existe el respeto a los documentos privados, y muchas veces he encontrado en el cesto de basura documentos míos o de mi hermana.
Obviamente esa es una batalla perdida, ya que mi padre nunca entendió ese concepto. Recuerdo que de mi escritorio desaparecieron las cartas guardadas que tenía en una caja cuando decidió incautar ese mueble para su uso personal.
Esto último me ha puesto a pensar en qué hacer con las fotos y documentos familiares, ya que soy la más joven de la familia y estoy rozando los 50 años y no existen herederos.
Tal vez sea buena idea digitalizar todo e ir haciendo quema de archivos, ya que si ni la familia respeta documentos qué no harán los extraños.
Y hablando de cosas extrañas, ¡sí que terminó siendo esta una entrada bastante rara!

Still plenty of time to reach your monthly book reading quota, but there are lots of distractions this holiday season, so good luck.
Maybe! Thanks a lot for your support ☺️🙏

Pasa el tiempo volando...
Es verdad, algunos recuerdos se podrían digitalizar para conservarlos, yo algunos documentos importantes sí lo hice.
Lo de secuestrar tiempo y atención es cierto también, yo he decidido que voy a estar poco por aquí, además no me motiva mucho Hive últimamente, así que si no te leo mucho estos días (aunque algunos votos tengo automatizados) aprovecho aquí ahora y te deseo ya una feliz Navidad amiga y muchos éxitos para el año que viene!!!
