Goals, Change and 2026

If your thoughts are turning from food shopping lists to lists of goals and changes you really wish to make this year, stay tuned. Over the next few days we’ll do some gentle and achievable work to ensure you are up-and-running for the New Year. You might today put aside a sharpened pencil and a small stack of blank printer paper.

Meanwhile, go walk, go read some fiction and go drop some thank you notes in the post.

Happy Christmas!

May it be exactly as you wish it.

Attending church, examining presents, hiking wintry lower slopes, listening to the start of bells chiming across sleeping villages, coffee drunk and lists managed in a busy kitchen, stories of 2025 shared, hope renewed.

May your day bring exactly the blend of solitude and company, tradition and surprise, reflection and celebration that suits you best,

My Predictions for 2026, 7, These will NOT happen.

  1. Flying cars (still).
  2. AGI/superintelligent AI.
  3. Any significant ‘cures’ for any of the cancers or Alzheimer’s.
  4. Fusion power being commercially viable.
  5. A Mars colony.
  6. Universal basic income becoming adopted in any major economy.
