I stopped making New Year resolutions a while ago. My philosophy has been simple: if something is actually important, waiting for a specific date on the calendar doesn’t make sense. You should just start doing it, like the Nike ad says.

But for 2026, I’m making an exception.

I have never considered myself a prolific writer, but lately, I’ve noticed a growing friction when trying to express my ideas in written form. I suspect I’ve fallen into the trap of becoming a **habitual consumer**. When you spend all your time consuming and less time creating, the “writing muscle” starts to atrophy.

In the past, I felt a certain pressure when publishing here. I wanted every post to be thoughtful, insightful, and universally helpful. That high bar often became a barrier to actually hitting “publish.”

I think it’s time to listen to [Kevin Kelly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin%5FKelly%5F%28editor%29?ref=kudithipudi.org) and focus on the [**audience of one**](https://kevinkelly.substack.com/p/an-audience-of-one) **– me**.

The goal for this year isn’t to write for the world, but to write to think, to clarify my own ideas, and to move back from being a consumer to a producer.

Here’s to 2026 being the year I start writing again 😊.
