+# New Year Resolution 2021
+
+**1. Reading books**
+
+In December 2020, I was able to finish eight books on Kindle and Libby just because I had more time and energy for myself, and I think I finally started becoming fond of reading books. I am proud of this accomplishment as I have always had admiration for those who read a lot. Looking back, keeping a book journal definitely encouraged me to keep reading. I am also realising how important it is to output in my own words what I have gained from the books -it enhances my deeper thinking, memory improvement, and the network in my knowledge. So, to make reading as a habit, I aim to read 60 books (five per month) this year. 
+
+**2. Creating my personal website**
+
+Along with my reading journal, I decided to take notes of ordinary activities and of other input sources such documentaries and news articles on my personal website. It will not be a blog but a purely personal journal for my own benefits so that I can organise my knowledge and thoughts. I will write them in English so that I can improve my English.
+
+**3. Start preparation for our brewing business**
+
+Here is my role for our future plan to move to Japan by 2022 April -gathering more information about establishing our own brewery/taproom as well as learning about starting a small business. To start with, it may be a good idea to speak to Takeshi and get some advice on where to start. It would be wonderful if we can work out a rough roadmap.
+
+**4. Own less**
+
+One of the books I read in December 2020, The More of Less by Joshua Becker, inspired me to have less stuff to promote the things I most value in my life. We already decluttered our bed room mostly and since it felt absolutely great, I shall keep decluttering stuff we own. Particularly, small items such as jewelry, craft stuff and kitchen utensils and appliance. I should definitely remove my bike before the end of 2021!
