2018 Annual Review
It is that time of the year when we all audit what went well and what we should be looking forward to.
3 questions that I’m going to answer to review myself and compare to my last year commitment.
What went well this year?
What didn’t go so well this year?
What am I working toward?
1. What went well this year?
Writing: I have written 93 articles this year. The target was to write at least 2 articles in a week. I am trying to make it as a habit. Have missed just 11 days this year. It was one of the good writing years. Also, the viewership of my blog has increased. This year my focus was to write a book and have finally able to do so. You can also check out my book at https://amzn.to/2CHesaZ. I hope you all like it too.
Read Books: Had planned to read minimum 1 book a month. This was an average year reading. Had a fun time reading various books and have blogged about my thoughts about the book so that I can remember and refer it back when I needed. I have read 8 books this year, averaging 221 pages per book. You can check out all of them by clicking here.
Travel: I would love to travel at least one country every year. This year I have traveled a lot mostly in India. This year it was to Shenzhen (China), Kuwait and Dubai. Shenzhen was a fun trip, leaned a lot about chinese culture too. Also in India, I have visited Bharuch for the first time and stayed in Indore for the first time, it was fun.
Creating new Opportunities: Have met new friends and that has helped me to create new opportunities too.
Sleep: Last year my average hr of sleep was around 6hrs per day. This year sleep is increased to 7 hrs per day with an average of 2hr deep sleep.
2. What didn’t go so well this year?
Exercise: Last year I was working out for 10 mins per day at least 3 to 4 times a week. This year exercise time has gone for a toss. Have to schedule proper timing to do the exercise again in routine.
Give time to family and friends: Was not able to spend much time with family this year. There was no family outing for personal reason. Hopefully, it will be different this year.
Sells things online: Was not able to give enough time or do enough promotion for selling stuff online. Need to focus more on it this year.
3. What am I working toward?
Writing schedule: Have to be more consistent with my writing schedule. Also, have to write more quality and in detail stuff.
Expand my business: Have to start working on my business and have to give more time to it. Have to expand my business portfolio too. Looking for a new partnership and ventures this year.
Research: This year also want to continue with doing more research and learn new things. This will help me grow, not only professionally but also personally. I am not an expert and trying to learn many things out of many things myself. Have improved my life and my thoughts in 2018 and I am looking forward to new adventures and learning in 2019.
