Last year, I set really ambitious goals for 2019. Although I hit a lot of them, the goals were too expansive and specific, like hitting $X/month in revenue, running 1000 miles, publishing X YouTube vidoes, etc.

It was good for last year because I didn't really have a good vision for what I wanted to do in life. But in 2019, I figured out my more "overarching goals" which are to build a successful business, spend time with family & friends, and fitness stuff. My goals are more about the next 5-10 years and I'm very focused on that.

I'm also a lot more confident in what I want out of life and I really don't need "goals", because I'm dedicated to working on these things every day and they are basically habits for me now. So, I'd rather set monthly goals and these often become weekly and daily goals embedded into my brain.

So, for 2020, I'm not going to set goals like that. I'm not really going to set any goals.

However, one thing I want to get better at is spending my free time on more interesting things and improving myself as a person, as well as learning new things and keeping my life interesting and my day's invigorating.

So in 2020, I want to dedicate each month to learning a new hobby or subject, or trying something new, and just "immersing" myself into it.

This is my personality - I find something new and get obsessed with it. I really enjoy learning about new things. So, I want to take advantage of that (but also not let it take over my daily life).

So, on evenings after a long workday, I want to have some new hobby to look forward to that is productive. Something to do with my extra hours that gets me excited.

Each month I will pick a "thing" and research it and execute on it.

I don't know exactly what they will be yet, but here are some ideas:

As the year goes by, I will keep thinking of more based on new things I learn and get excited about.

At the beginning of the month, I will pick something and create a mini-plan, and plan to dedicate some time to it every day, if needed.

For January, I pick cooking. It's good timing for me because I am living at home with full access to a kitchen and I'd like to save money, learn more about meal prepping, and I'm counting calories to lose weight for my marathon in March.

Subject to change though! More to come soon!
