New Year New Commitment

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. I guess it is timely to start writing again as a form of a refreshed commitment. It has been two years since I start writing. Recently the momentum to write fades away as I have many small commitments such as reading two devotions plus listening to one short devotion together with sharing the contents. Also, I am torn between learning Japanese, Spanish, and Chinese in Duolingo. At the same time, I am enrolling into a Machine Learning course in Coursera. I was also busy in preparing submission to two different internal conferences. At the same time, I am busy with normal work together with the desire to organize prayer meeting or any work collaboration. In other word, I am getting more ambitious and wanting to do many good things. With all those excitements, it is hard to slow down to either make priority of the day or even just reflecting like this by writing. Remember that write & summarize is one of my four strategies so far: postpone taking additional commitments; emotional speedometer; write & summarize; acknowledge & seek help/tools. I need to remember that writing 5 mins like this helps to organize my thoughts and evaluate whether I am just into my emotion or carefully make choices given the limited time and resources.
