#108 2026 Vision, First Half Review
Asa-chan and Shida-chan, friends since university, take a deep dive into reflecting on the first half of 2024. They discuss, in their own words, how the goals they set at the beginning of the year resonate with who they are today.
The ideal routine turned out to be an unexpected burden.
In an effort to "create a comfortable rhythm for daily life," Asa-chan filled her weekends with gym sessions, studying, and side hustles. However, once she started, she hit a wall wondering, "When am I supposed to rest?" This led her to the counterintuitive realization of intentionally creating "leeway" by not scheduling anything at all.
The relentless pursuit of certifications continues.
While she stopped over-scheduling, Asa-chan's drive for learning hasn't slowed down. She has obtained various certifications one after another, such as the IT Passport, Disaster Prevention Specialist, and Level 1 Certified Organizing Advisor. Furthermore, with her participation in the "Manabi DX Quest" program led by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, her momentum for learning is set to accelerate even further in the second half of the year.
How to craft the "best chorus" for life ahead.
As they design their lives, the duo shares that they want to cherish the element of "play" just as much as studying. After wrapping up big events like their trip to Iceland and a relay marathon, they are currently exploring what to look forward to next. With plans to attend a specific concert and more, what kind of "chorus" will be added to their lives next? Be sure to listen to the full episode.
