Hello my lovelies. How's your new year so far? I have been thinking about yearly goals a lot this year. I usually did not do yearly goals because I will have trouble remembering them throughout the year.
This year I decided to make a few achievable goals in 2018 which I can visit monthly and see how far I have accomplished them. I intend to live this year intentionally and to simplify my life. I decided to do My 18 goals in 2018 tag (I think it's a tag because I kept seeing them everywhere in youtube). It will be fun to do along a one year project with everybody.
HERE ARE MY 18 GOALS IN 2018
- Do abs workout at least 3 times a week - I have been neglecting my abs workout lately. So this year I intend to do abs workout at least 3 times a week.
- Drink at least 3 liter of water daily- I have been very callous with my water intake lately. So this year I want to do this again and make it a habit again this year.
- Be more grateful and humble - I want to be more humble and grateful this year. I plan to keep a gratitude journal using my DayOne app and list three things I am grateful for daily. Say thank you alot especially to someone who I think don't deserve it. Just say thank you.
- Write in my journal daily - I know that this year is going to be a challenging year for me. I am going to have a lot of emotional baggage to sort through and a lot of things are going to be on my mind. So writing a daily journal can be very helpful to keep a clear head and a peace of mind.
- Read 20 books this year - I just sign up reading challenge on goodnotes for 20 books. I want to read more this year and having a set of number to achieve is going to be fun for me.
- Learn to use Affinity Photo - I have bought Affinity photo last year but I was just barely scratch the surface. So this year I am really going to learn how to use this app especially on my ipad.
- Travel at least two times - I have been meaning to travel the world for the longest time. I want to make the time to see other places in the world before I die like Eiffel Tower in Paris, Gondola Ride in Venice, Colosseum in Rome, Northern Lights (Aurora) in Iceland and many more. Hopefully this I get to visit some of them.
- Stick to a system or tool for a year - I love technology and I love apps. I can easily get seduce into trying new apps all the time. This year I wanted to use only the app that I have, choose only one app for a particular task and delete others. For example - use only todoist for all my to dos (actionable task), Evernote for my digital filing system - Google calendar as my main calendar, Trello as my project management overview, Project Life app as my scrapbook, Goodnotes as my note taking app-digital planner and art journal, Day One as my journal, Color Story as my photo editing app. It is going to be challenge for me but I am going to try
- Embrace the power of ONE - In this age of information technology where everything that you want is at your finger tips. Information overload can really cripple me. Make your choice and stood by it. One is a very powerful number. Be comfortable with myself because there's no one in the world like me. I have to stop comparing myself to other people. No one in the world have my experience and no one in the world have my emotions. I am ONE - celebrate that.
- Spend less money on things/stuffs - I have been very bad when it comes to accumulating stuffs. I often bought things that I don't need. This year I am going to make it my goal to spend less money on things/stuffs. I am going to try and practice the 30 days rule. If I find things that I want to buy I have to put it in To Buy Lists (use todoist) and revisit them in 30 days. If I still want them after 30 days than maybe I will consider buying it.
- Go on "Apple Diet" - I have been spending way too much money on Apple product last year. I am going to make it my mission to stop myself from buying any Apple product this year. No matter how amazing and beautiful the product is I am not going to buy it. (unless they come out with new Apple Pencil hehehe ...) . I need to spend more time enjoying my product because Apple product last longer and I should really used them to it's full potential. I even told my kids about this goal and asked them to remind me about this goal when ever I mention to them that I want that new iphone or that new ipad or that new macbook.
- Finish my online courses - I have taken a few online courses last year and a few this year that I still need to go through.
- Simplify my life - Simplify is my One Little Word for 2018. This year I am going to embark on a project to simplify my life especially with my spaces and environment. My January is going to focus on things/stuffs in my home. I need to slowly letting go of all the stuffs that longer serve me physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally.
- Adopt a digital Life Style - I want to adopt a digital lifestyle this year. Mostly I will convert all the papers document that I received into digital and keep them in my Evernote, convert all my dvd movies into digital media, only buy ebooks or audiobooks (no physical book this year) and so on.
- Spend more time at home - especially during weekend. I used to love going to malls during weekend just to make myself busy and forget about my loneliness and problems. This year I am going to make a conscious effort to stay at home more often during the weekend and enjoy my space and my home more. I can be happy at home and feel content with myself.
- Explore Simplify (OLW2018) - I want to be curious with my word and embrace the beauty of becoming. I am not sure how I am going to do that but I am sure that by the end of the year I will be a different person.
- Involve actively with my daughter studies - My daughter will be taking SPM exam in 2019. I want her to be prepare from day one. Study is fun and I am going to make it my mission to show her how fun it is. I am already checking out pencil.my and a few online tuisyen available.
- Be more active - My job is basically spend time in front of a computer. I want to be more active this year. Walk more and hit at least 10,000 steps every single day including weekend. Exercise for at least 30 minutes for 6 days a week and not step on the scale for three months. I need to change my goal from losing weight to be more healthy.
This is definitely a really long lists and long goals. I think it's achievable and not too big for me. I might do half of the year check in blog post just to see how I am doing. Wish me luck!
