Setting My Goals for 2023
January 2, 2023
My experience in 2022 was both awesome and bad.
In the first half of the year, I can say I have been financially blessed.
However, since my secondary income is mostly from read.cash and noise.cash, my finances were greatly affected when the prices continued to drop. The rewards I received from my content dropped from more than $150 a month to less than $50 a month.
Considering the state of cryptocurrency, I have to rethink my earning strategies. Moreover, my goals must focus on finance only. I must consider the other aspects of my life as well.
Here is a summary of my goals for 2023
Fitness - Shape Up and Get fit
I'm in my golden years already. Most people at age are already taking maintenance meds for their blood pressure and sugar. I am quite blessed that up to now, my doctor still did not require me to take any.
Then again, at my age, I must be careful.
I am not obese, but my waiswaistlinea a bit big for my body. For years I have been struggling to drop the 7". All the food during the Christmas season did not help... (but I think they helped add an inch or so... which is not good).
Action Plan:
Blood Chemistry - It's more than five years since I had my blood chemistry checked. I'll save up some fund funds this and have my blood workworkcked this month.
For In the meantime, here are the other things that I plan to do.
Long Walk/Jog 3 times a week: I haven't done this for more than two months already. If the weather permits it, I will go back to my morning walk at least 3 times a week. I might mix it with an afternoon walk from time to time.
If the weather is bad, however, I will compensate with some home exercises.
Diet: All those lechLechonasted pigs) during the holidays made me feel heavier these days. I have to cut down my fat intake from now on. I also need to cut down on my sugar.
Finance/Properties
I will skip the details. I made a list of the necessary things that I need to spend on t year. In addition to my salary from my part-time teaching job, I need to earn at least P20,500 a month. If I will work on that for 20 days a month, that means, I need to earn P1,025 a day. That's about $18 a day.
This is half of the goal that I have set two months ago. I had to make some adjustments on mtogoal considering the crisis we are experiencing today. However, I aim to gradually increase my income goal each month.
Action Plan
- Continue creating content for Hive, read.cash, and noise.app.
- Be active in the r writing sites like publish0x and forumcoin.
- Learn and try other online income streams like:
- Affiliate Marketing
- NFT
- My blog sitehershers
Develop my Digital Design/Illustration skills
Those had been following my posts know that I love to draw. However, I have not made usedusethat skill to earn lately. I did one NFT but have not focused on it.
More than a month ago, I started a project that makes my drawing and writing skills in combination. I plan to publish that project this month.
Others
Before I go to last the most important goal, let me list down some of my other goals.
- Save at least $1 a day.
- Learn and practice social media/ Internet marketing skills
- Improve time management skills.
- Read at least 26 books this year.
- Finish and Publish my first Ebook before March of 2023
- Start publishing my web webcomicsore the end of January and update it at least twice a month.
Spend More Quality Time With My Family
This is the last on my list but definetly the most important one. Though I spend a lot of time at home. They are not reality. I bond with my kids play by ing a mobile game but that leaves out my wife. So, I need to come up with some activities that will involve everybody. I'm thinking of a board game.
In Closing
These are my goals for this year. There are others that I prefpreferred to mention.
Anyway, whatever our goals are for this year, listing them down in a notebook is the first step. Then look at those goals every single day to rimiremindof what we need to accomplish.
We may not accomplish them all, but what is important is, we took steps to get closer to them.
May all our dreams come true this year.
