Goals and Other Thoughts:
Work towards minimalism —> declutter (just step no.1)
Work towards a zero-waste lifestyle
Learn how to use my camera
Play piano (take lessons at Hunter or GHMS)
Explore NYC more
REST: DO NOT OVERLOAD SELF; DO NOT BE BUSY JUST TO BE BUSY
Perform a song at an open mic?
Cook for self more often
Exercise
Read 30minutes a day (at least, can me more)
Scribble ideas for a musical? opera? songs?
Budget and save!
Go to therapy (both solo and family)
Figure out insurance plan
Watch PBS News Hour or read articles (2 hours a week)
Chinese lessons (if it works out)
Reach out to “mentors” in my life (meet up with them once in a while)
Try to not buy anything for 1 month
^This is essentially my first list of goals with a few tweaks here and there.
From when I first wrote those goals to now I have managed to read more often (not every day, but a lot more frequently), I am composting at home, I have reached out to the people I look to for advice, I have talked in Chinese more (this was pretty unexpected), and I have been exploring more of NYC.
Before college, I had never been fond of setting goals for myself. They always felt rather pointless to me. Fortunately, I now see how goals can help me because I am setting concrete and measurable goals—it’s no longer this random thing.
