2020 was a blur.

Plans have gone out of the window and forced a lot of people out of their comfort zones.

As I mentioned in my email list, I’m in the 2021 planning mode. The plans I made last year helped me navigate 2020.

Looking back, I probably stuck to my plan only around 20%. The rest just went down the drain.

And that’s okay.

If I didn’t write down what I set to accomplish, I know I would have just sulked and stay complacent when the pandemic hit.

But since I know I have some targets to reach, I scrapped the “how” in my plans with new ones to adapt to the current situation.

And that’s the importance of planning. It helps you keep on track no matter what happens. But more importantly, remember that it’s also okay to abandon your plans to adapt to what’s happening right now.

With that, here are a few things I’m doing and why.

Website Refresh (and Speed Improvements)

One of the first things I did was migrated my website to a new theme and cleaned it up a bit.
