I experienced significant changes in my personal life in 2023, so I've changed balance between work and daily life. After that my work is going well, on the other hand my percsonal activities have been neither particularly good nor bad. In 2024, aim to increase my learning time and take on new challenges to foster personal growth.

## Achievements

### Career

- **I stopped juggling multiple clients** - After a significant change in my personal life, handling multiple tasks with tight deadlines became challenging. I made the decision to focus on a single project from the client I joined last year. This allows me to better manage my schedule and enjoy more free time.
- **I started selling Notion Template** - I had planned to create Notion Templates as a side hustle, and I successfully launched them. Additionally, I'm working on developing a widget that leverages my skills as a developer.

### Personal

- **3 days off per week** - Since transitioning to working with just one client, my work schedule has become more stable. I now work four days per week, providing me with more personal time and time for my family as well.
- **I got married**

## Failures

- **Late learning Greek** - There is no good Greek textbook in Japanese, so I struggled to find a textbook.

## Resolutions for 2023

- Redesign my blog and add CMS
- Learn React, Next.js, TypeScript
- Create Notion Template & Widget
- Greek → daily conversation
- Prepare for moving

Thank you for reading.  
I hope you all have a great 2024!
