It’s time to put my reflections and revisions into a concrete public form. This will maybe keep me accountable! Ha.
As I don’t like to call my new resolutions as New Year’s resolutions, I am calling them long and short term goals for this upcoming year. I know, it’s the same thing in the end, but semantics are important to me. I’m a language nerd after all! π
So, here we go!
Long-term for the year:
*Finish the PhD by June
*Finish coaching workshops to prepare for certification by the end of June/
*Pay off UAE credit card in its entirety by the end of the year at the latest – sooner if possible
*Pay off all US credit cards by June
*Maintain balance in my exercise, diet, mental health and relationships
This year’s charity goals:
*Set aside 100USD a month for charity – Sevenly.orgΒ or another one I might find. Continue with the $100 in Kiva.org
*Set aside 1500dhs a month for travel expenses
*Set aside 1000dhs a month to participate in a charity activity such as Habitat for Humanity or something where I can go to participate.
Short-term on a daily or weekly basis:
*Do PhD work for at least an hour a day
*Write on my blog(s) and own writing for at least two hours a day
*Go out with friends once a week on weekdays and once on weekends
*Attend yoga and Pilates four times a week (according to gym schedule) and exercise by swimming or in the gym twice a week
So, that’s a fairly good start to my goals for the year, wouldn’t ya say? π
