Happy New Year All.
Iโm back after so long with a new website. I can’t believe my last post was in 2020. 2021 flew by and here we are in 2022. I hope everyone is keeping well.
In today’s post, I wanted to focus on my goals and recap on the ones I set in 2020.
2020 Goals:
- Pass my degree – I completed my degree and received a 2:1. My graduation took place in January this year and it was a lovely event.
- Improve my time management skills โ This is something Iโm still working out. I have purchased Getting Things Done by David Allen as it was highly recommended on Amazon.
- Exercise 3 times a weekย โ I have finally joined the gym in December and have been going 3 times a week.
- Research new jobsย – I started a new job in March 2021 as an IT Project Manager.
- Continue to save and stick to my budget – Over the past 2 years, I have continued to stick to my budget. YNAB is a great budgeting tool. Click on the link to receive a 34-day trial. Hopefully, you’ll like it as much as I do.
Unfortunately, I didn’t complete the following but I have now set them as my 2022 goals.
- Post 2 blog posts a week โ This is my first post of 2022 and I plan to be more consistent this year.
- Read 1 new book a month – I have so many books to read including the ones from my reading list post.
- Learn to read music – I started to learn to read music following online videos and then I stopped due to work becoming intense. I’m hoping I will gain some productivity tips once I finish reading Getting Things Done.
- Learn a languageย – I downloaded the Duolingo app a couple of years ago and was consistent; practising every morning. I started to learn French, Spanish and Polish. I then fell off track so will focus on one language; Spanish.
- Complete A-Z Restaurant\Places to see Challenge (post to follow soon) – Hazel and I love to visit new restaurants/places. A friend mentioned that she completed an A-Z of Pubs in London with her friends by picking a letter from the alphabet and finding a pub with that letter e.g. B – Buckingham Arms Pub.ย I thought it would be great to try this idea but with restaurants and places to visit in London.
- Tick off 3 things from My Bucket List – I managed to tick 1 thing off the list which was to gain a degree.
- Reach my target weight – During the pandemic I gained a lot of weight from snacking and eating too many takeaways. Now I am back on track with healthy eating/everything in moderation and incorporating regular exercise.
What are your goals for 2022?
I hope you enjoyed the post. Please follow my blog to keep up to date with my latest posts. Until next time.

Welcome back looking forward to your blog posts in 2022. Two of my goals for 2022 include budgeting (and investing) and also exercising consistently. ๐

Thanks. Great goals. How’s it going so far? I’m interested in learning more about investing. I have watched a couple of youtube videos but I need to dedicate more time to understand the process.

Same here. I am spending time trying to understand how to invest from here in Trinidad. So its a learning process. TThe exercise thou, that has been fairly consistent so far ๐
