"I was going to have a "What will Bryce Elder do in 2026?" post for today, but life got in the way, so suffice to say, the first few days of 2026 have not been all too different from 2025 for me. But, things can change, and there's a lot of year to go. So, a completely fluffy, relatively meaningless daily question to kick off the first full week of the year: how much better is this year going to be than last?"
"for me. But, things can change, and there's a lot of year to go. So, a completely fluffy, relatively meaningless daily question to kick off the first full week of the year: how much better is this year going to be than last? Rank 2025 on a scale from 1-10, do the same for your central projection for 2026, and subtract away."
Early 2026 can feel similar to 2025, though significant change remains possible over the coming months. A lighthearted, simple exercise asks readers to assign a 1–10 rating to 2025, pick a central-projection rating for 2026 on the same scale, and subtract the former from the latter to quantify improvement. The exercise is framed as fluffy and relatively meaningless, intended to kick off the new year with a quick comparative check-in. The hope is that the resulting difference is positive, with a negative result described as decidedly unpleasant.
