2017 Goals

Posted by portho at 19:00 Labels:
A bit late for goals but I think I made the basic list a few months ago, plus it's a similar format to the 2016 version.

  • Blog
    • More than last year would be a success !
    • Aiming for 50
  • Car
    • Give it about 50% chance of an upgrade
    • Not really important but it's going to start dying one day
  • Fitness
    • Bike
      • Might not be much point before winter now
      • The main purpose is some long distance on flat roads similar to weekend running
    • Run
      • Try to stay injury free, as much as possible...
      • Try to get a new record for 5km and 10km
      • Getting back to fitness for a half marathon record is probably unlikely
      • Not sure if I'll beat my 2015 record (about 250 kilometres per month) since I've missed time already
    • Swim
      • I would like to reach a point that it's easy to do laps, but it's so cold in winter...
    • Triathlon
      • Aiming to do one for the 2017-18 season
    • Weight
      • Getting back to 70 kilograms at last, hopefully before winter (and injuries)
  • Food
    • Baking
      • Should start baking again, all the previous ingredients had expired
  • Holiday
    • Hopefully find time for a couple of weeks during winter somewhere
    • Some short trips for running also including:
  • House
    • If only houses were affordable...
    • It would be a great goal for the year, but might be a wait and see period at the moment
  • Money
    • Shares
      • Making a profit would be nice
      • Get past 250,000 by the end of the year if the share market doesn't collapse
    • Super
      • Should start contributing a bit extra, since this job only pays the minimum
  • Music
    • Get to see a few bands at least, depending on tours
    • Need to discover some new bands, since most of my favourites seem to be inactive
  • Reading
    • One a month maybe
    • Need to find some new authors too, since I'm running out of good Stephen King options
  • Sport
    • Not sure what I intended for this category
    • Try to get some use out of the MCC membership, although Carlton are no good again
    • I don't think holidays will coincide with any sporting events
  • Study
    • Depends on what is required for work, maybe the Java 8 certification
  • Video Games
    • Unpack the Xbox One finally...
  • Work
    • No job change this year hopefully
    • Need to build up some annual leave for holidays
