Reflecting on 2025 and Aspirations for Next Year

There is only a little bit of this year left.
Thank you very much for all your support this year.

2025

Looking back on 2025, I feel like it was a bit more relaxed.
I think the fact that my usual summer routine (the Labor and Social Security Attorney exam) was gone had a significant impact.

I have looked back on my progress this year.

• Taking the practical training course (February to July)

• Opening Takemoto Psychology & Labor Office (Labor and Social Security Attorney office) (September)

• Had the opportunity to serve as a peer reviewer for psychology-related papers

Well, I suppose that is about it. I had decided to open the office. I would like to work on things little by little from here on out.

Goals for 2026

I am thinking about what I should do next year, but

• Get my office on track

• Establish my own style (utilizing the combination of Labor and Social Security Attorney x Clinical Psychologist x Researcher) (leveraging my strengths)

  • Find my own way of providing organizational support

  • Create an organizational visualization tool

• Publish at least one paper per year (I would like to keep this as a goal for about the next 30 years)

I think that is about it.
Next year, I will be operating the office in earnest, so I need to take responsibility for my actions, for better or worse. I want to make sure I handle that properly.

I will continue to update my note, so I appreciate your continued support.
Thank you all for your support this year. Have a wonderful New Year!
