Since 2020, I\u2019ve been setting personal yearly goals and following Meta ruthless performance cycle (PSC) approach\u2014basically, I rate myself on how I\u2019m doing against those goals each quarter. I\u2019ve found that having clear goals and regular check-ins really helps me stay focused and grow personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Exercise at least twice a week<\/strong>
    Result: Exceeded Expectations.<\/em>
    With a mix of running, cycling, and weightlifting, I managed to average about 75 minutes of exercise per week. I didn\u2019t skip a single week, even when traveling or during busy work weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Continue learning Spanish on Duolingo<\/strong>
    Result: Met Expectations.<\/em>
    I kept up my Spanish practice slowly but steadily. When traveling to Spanish-speaking countries, I was able to hold simple conversations\u2014though I\u2019m still not quite at the level of having long or in-depth discussions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Read at least one book per month<\/strong>
    Result: Meet Most.<\/em>
    I ended up reading seven books (with one abandoned halfway). Reading is incredibly fulfilling and offers new perspectives, but I struggled with discipline\u2014I often chose TV shows or daydreaming over reading. I\u2019m still searching for a solid system to keep me on track.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2025 Goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Exercise at least three times a week<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Write a blog post at least twice per month<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Read at least one book per month (second attempt)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019m excited to see how these new goals shape my year. Here\u2019s to continuous growth and staying focused in 2025! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
