2018

It felt like I coasted through 2017 in many spheres of life with the main (only?) thing of significance that occurred being getting married to S in October. I’d like 2018 to be a vastly different one, filled with energy and intention and delivery. The seven focus areas in my life plan apply, with a few (Spiritual, Physical & Health, Financial and Personal Development) being focus areas.

A successful 2018 for me is one in which I:

  • Reduce weight to 80kg (+/-2kg, 20% body fat)
  • Get an active side gig that makes money
  • Grow and improve my relationship with Mrs S.
  • Find a job in the Greater London Area which matches or surpasses my current pay

Overall, in 2018, I’d like to deliver on these Twelve Things by December 31st 2018:

  1. Develop a daily practice of prayer and bible study utilising the Our Daily Bread app.
  2. Reduce weight to <80kg (and 20% body weight) by a combination of eating low carb, running three times a week and utilising PureGym at least twice a week.
  3. Complete the Baker Hughes 10k timed race in May 2018 (booked).
  4. Read two books each month (25 in total by year end)
  5. Be conversationally fluent in French by Dec 31st
  6. Learn Python and web app development, develop and deploy a spend tracking app by December 31st
  7. Save > £500 monthly, reduce credit card debt by 50% (£6,000) by YE2018.
  8. Identify and deploy a side gig, earn >£1,000 by YE 2018
  9. Travel to two new countries (one European, one Non-European) by YE 2018
  10. Write at QuotidianThings.com at least once a week (>300 words)
  11. Build a practice of daily journaling.

Performance will be tracked via Habit List where possible, and reviewed weekly and quarterly. Fingers crossed.
