**My Exciting Journey: A Year of Learning**

As I stepped into the new year, I kick-started my adventure with an inspiring course that set the tone for what was to come. From that moment, each day has unfolded with new opportunities and experiences that have fueled my passion for growth and knowledge on Coursera. My New Year's resolution was focused on self-improvement, as I wanted to enhance my CV. Unfortunately, I stopped the course halfway through due to school activities and general distractions; it felt more like an abandoned mission. Despite my chaotic schedule, I made it a point to include reading as a compulsory part of my routine since I had exams and schoolwork to complete.

This year has been one of my most productive, starting on a good note. However, I diverted from my initial plan due to changes in my environment and a lack of time. It became mentally hectic because of my procrastination. The beginning of the year was not too busy because I took some initial steps, but as I started to engage more—attending conferences both virtually and physically—I had to learn how to adapt to a busier lifestyle.

Joining clubs like the Pro Writers Club has been one of my best decisions. While my schedule wasn’t filled with compulsory writing assignments or book readings, being part of the club kept me motivated, as I always felt I had deadlines to meet.

My daily routine during the holidays typically follows the same pattern at the beginning of the year: I wake up, pray, do house chores, and fulfill any other assigned duties. I spend time watching movies or series, eating, sleeping, and cooking. However, my last holiday was different. My routine changed because I started my own business, which kept me busy. I no longer just wait for the day to unfold; I actively manage my time. Aside from my usual morning routine, I realized that the earlier I start working on my brand, the better it will be, as it requires significant time and effort.

My routine compared to the beginning of the year has gone through significant changes, I don't just wait till the next day to know what happens, I plan for the day.
