These are the 5 things that you need to try to make your 2026 a game-changing one
1. The chatGPT planner:
I have seen people making their “2025 wrapped” and posting it. Here is how you can make it useful.
Go to ChatGPT and paste your 2025 wrapped there
Paste this prompt along with that:
“These are the things that I have accomplished in the year 2025. I want to make it more productive than before, statistically as well as from a human point of view. Could you please pan my 2026, and if possible, include actionable steps?
This will give you a good plan for 2026, and modify it according to your needs
Save it and go according to the plan, you will get much more in less time
This is what I got
2. Day scheduling is a BS:
In X, I saw posts saying, “This is my schedule for 2026”
It will not work because this is the loop
You make a strict schedule → You fail to do it one day → You procrastinate → You fail more → This loop goes on
Instead, create milestones, not schedules. For example, instead of saying I will read for an hour today, change it to, I will read 10 pages in a day.
Why this works is because milestones are a reward-winning mindset, and scheduling is a never-ending loop mindset.
3. Slots mean concentration:
An average human can concentrate for around 15 minutes to do a single task, but you are not here to be an average person.
But you should take advantage of this time frame. If you are doing a boring task and you know you are going to get distracted easily, divide that task into slots.
For me, my slot is 45 minutes long, and after that, a 15-minute break. This again creates an illusion of reward; I am giving 15 minutes as a reward for my 45 minutes of work.
4. Books are treasures that only the limited ones find:
This is one of the things I need to thank my GSoC mentor for. He introduced me to the habit of reading books. Seriously, books are way beyond content on the internet.
So far I have read 2 books:
Difficult Conversations by Bruce Patton, Douglas Stone, and Sheila Heen: https://amzn.to/3MTIZsC
The Culture Map by Erin Meyers: https://amzn.to/4bbBC9N
Both books changed my way of communication drastically. Why don’t you do the same?
Currently, I have purchased a pack of 3 books by one of my favorite business influencers, Alex Hormozi

5. One step out of comfort zone:
Many of them say that I have stepped out of my comfort zone, but still, they are bluffing; it is a process that needs to be iterated many times.
In 2026, choose one thing that you are assuming it is your comfort zone and you need to come out of it.
I'm afraid of the camera, I take minimal pictures, also I have never posted a video of myself on the internet. This year, I want to break this comfort zone and start creating video content soon.
So what have you decided?
Conclusion:
You will never know how time flies by, it is you who makes it slow by earning it back, so it is your time to start building today for a future with plenty of time to enjoy.
Remember, no one is coming to help you; you are the one who needs to pat your back in each situation.
Keep building yourself everyday!
