Gaining and Losing - Not My New Years Resolutions

avatar

Although I am not one for resolutions its as good a time as any to take a look at what I want to get from this year.

I have spent many years thinking about writing a novel, programming my own game, running my own business (I have done this a couple of times in the past), creating a blog, investing for passive income etc. etc. so its probably time to pick something and stick to it.

So what are my priorities?

Firstly I need to look at my health, I'm not getting any younger and my physical health is not what it once was so taking care of my body is high on my priorities this year. Visiting my GP prior to Christmas and getting another tablet to add to my morning coffee was a bit of a wake up, so getting my diabetes under control through proper diet and exercise is a must, I'll be tracking my exercise with Actifit and hoping to start getting 10,000 steps a day in, being desk bound for work makes it difficult but that doesn't mean impossible! Staying away from sweets and chocolate will be easier said than done too but eating my self to death is not what I want, where there is a will there is a way!

Secondly is work life balance, I have spent too many hours these last couple of years working my way up the corporate ladder and late last year a change in direction for the company I work for has now left me in a bit of limbo, the lack of any decision on my position has given me a lot of worries that I could do without, don't get me wrong, I like where I work and wont just stop doing my best but I don't think the opportunities are now there that were only a few months ago, I have a one year old grandson that will be taking a bit more of my attention and a garden that will get some long overdue love this year rather than weekends of work. Maybe even get more time to build Lego and play some Splinterlands.

Thirdly and finally for today I want to get my finances sorted, saving for things rather than using credit, having a rainy day fund, creating a budget (and sticking to it!). I'll be signing up for the Saturday Savers Club that @shanibeer hosts and hopefully learning some new ways to save and earn on Hive.

Lets see how well this goes this year, like I said, no resolutions just a look at what I want to get out of this year.
