Goals give direction to your life. They allow you to live\nyour life by design and not by chance. Written goals have been proven to be at\nleast 10 times more effective that verbal goals. Verbal goals are goals that we\nknow that we must do and have made a note of them mentally. However, our\nmemories are malleable and fragile and hence we tend to forget them or modify\nthem as per our performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here are some of my top goals for 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Read 60 nonfiction books for the year. Track\nwhat I have read in my weekly rhythm register.<\/li>
  2. Complete 50 data camp courses, 35 courses in R\nand 15 in Python\/SQL<\/li>
  3. Complete 10 Udemy courses in Tableau\/Power BI. <\/li>
  4. Weigh 78 Kgs by April 2019.<\/li>
  5. Track my food on Healthifyme app for 300\/365\ndays. <\/li>
  6. Run for at least 150 days. (Treadmill with a\ntarget of running 5km in around 35 \u2013 40 mins by end of the year)<\/li>
  7. Save and invest at least 15% of my income.<\/li>
  8. Eliminate some debts that I have taken and not\ntake any new ones.<\/li>
  9. Obtain a 1500 ranking on Chess.com<\/li>
  10. Practise Chinese on Duolingo for at least 300\ndays in the year.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The first three goals will help me to improve my employment\nquotient. In this ever-changing world, I want to upskill myself and keep my\nskills on the cutting edge. However, my first goal is to read 60 nonfiction\nbooks. This is because these books will primarily help shape my thinking and my\nmindset, which I believe is the most important thing. Technologies will evolve\nand one would have evolved with them, however, the mindset that allows you to\nlearn and evolve is more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Health and Fitness<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The next goals focus on my health and fitness levels. I want\nto live a long and healthy life and it is important to have a continued focus\non my health. Running 3 times, a week would give the recommended levels of\ncardio and I\u2019ll try to throw in some weight training while I am at the gym.\nFood is responsible for 80% of the weight loss program and hence, tracking what\nI eat is extremely important for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Saving and investing are important part of growth and\nindependence that I want to achieve over the years and hence aim is achieve 15%\nof my net salary level. My PF contributions are not a part of this. Also, I\nwould pay off some of my debts this year and strive to not take on any new\nones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The last two goals are aspirational and add skills in some\nentirely different areas than my work or personal goals. They give me some\nentertainment and a chance to explore different areas fields than the ones that\nI deliberately focus on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
