The end of a year and the beginning of a new one always feels like a good time to reflect, reset, and think about the goals for the upcoming year. I used to split my goals into three different categories:

• Physical
• Intellectual
• Monetary

This year, I want to add a fourth one: Creative. It's been hard for me to strike a balance between all of them, but this year I plan on being a lot more intentional with my time, focus and energy.

For my physical goal, I would like to try and complete a half-marathon. It doesn't seem to crazy of a goal, I'm already pretty decent with cardio and I think doing this is completely achievable.

For intellectual goals, I plan on reading more, drinking less and consuming less social media. I know the "drinking less" bleeds into what can be considered physical goal but to me, drinking less means my mind feels more clear and I can think more deeply about things.

Monetary goals have always been tough for me. I am not good with my money. I don't know if it is the result of growing up without a proper education about how to handle my money, but I am of the mindset that with the proliferation of information, if you don't know about something, it is completely entirely your fault now. Being bad with my money is my fault, and there is no reason why I can't learn to be better with it. So in 2026, one my major focus points will be improving on this.

Along with the monetary goals, is the goal of making my first internet "money". I know I have the skills for it. I see so many people online be able to do it. Why can't I? I doesn't even matter if it's just a single dollar. I want to know what it's like to generate even a single dollar online. I think I can do it. First steps first, I just have to figure out how.

Finally, the creative goal. This one feels new for me. I've never really "fed" my creative side but I want to prioritize this side of me just like everything else. I'm not sure how this is going to shape out to be but right now I am thinking on focusing on my fashion more. Last year felt like a flat year creatively. I was very bored with my style and I have felt very uninspired recently.

We'll see how this year goes. I'll report back at the end of the year!

Lets get this year going 🤘
