Discipline is essential!
The key is happy, patient and relaxed! (No worries, no cares, just discipline!)
The key is happy, patient and relaxed! (No worries, no cares, just discipline!)
(Greatly) do your
own thing/go your own way...
If you’re not
learning/experiencing new things, you’re going backwards.
Work and money is
not your god; living, sharing, caring and giving is!
Concentrate for 45
minutes minimum (distraction kills productivity!)
Do what you say you’re
going to do, and don’t procrastinate - make efficient decisions!
Always be curious!
Personal/Relationship
Goal:
I’m looking forward to my holiday end of February. The
plan is to get the girlfriend a visa, and take it from there. Let’s see how it
goes.
Career/Vocational
Goal:
Work
hard to become a Senior Consultant!
Love all your customers!
Talk and share more with colleagues!
Read more PDFs/whitepapers for work (more labs, more
training, more study, endless learning)!
Focus! Love what you do (you'll enjoy it more and be better at it!)
Material/Possessional
Goal:
Move
to a house with a double garage!
My Lotus ownership experience has been somewhat thwarted
by lack of facilities. I’d very much like to garage my Lotus and maintain it
myself. Moving house is targeted for 2020. Of course, that means no wasting
money buying cars (but I may have to sell to finance a house move - hopefully
not but we’ll see).
Health Goals
(Physical and Mental):
Still
aiming for that sub 20-minute 5k!
Wake up early (0400) to do Insanity workouts up to 6 days
a week.
Participate more in Park Runs (volunteer is an idea) and 10k+
runs (Athletics/Running
club is another idea!)
Listen to more music (good for mental health!)
Read more for pleasure (keeps the mental demons away!)
Financial Rules:
No more buying cars!
Overpay mortgages £166 and £499 per month, and personal
loan £333 per month without fail!
No more building up credit card debt; credit cards must
be paid off every month (even if that requires savings). If you’re in the red,
you’ve simply got to tighten your belt and spend less (or sell things)!
Generally, enjoy life and experiences (life’s no fun if
you obsess about every penny), but be financially responsible!
Long Term Goal:
-
Freedom!
Freedom to do what you love!
I am lucky to have an excellent job, but if I won big on
the lottery, I know I wouldn’t still be doing the job I do now. I’d love to
travel more, see places I’ve not seen, more trekking, more driving, more
skiing, quality time with the girlfriend and family, going back to University
and doing more degrees, debating, participating in clubs, sharing more via
blogs and video, volunteering/charity/helping people, doing good karmic deeds!
*I’m not a needy person;
I don’t need anyone and greatly value my independence and freedom. When the day
comes that I actually need someone to care for me and help me to live, that’s
my time to bail!
