Goals for 2016

It is time to set another 9 goals I would like to achieve by the end of 2016. My resolutions in 2015 were pretty good, hopefully I'll be as successful this year. Save money - I need to get serious about money. This is my main goal for 2016 and to achieve it I have to get super organised. Maybe it's time to download a good budget app on my tablet? Exercise at least 6 times a week - Last year my goal was to ''get fit'' but I don't think I fully understood the meaning of it. This time I am going to approach it a bit differently. Instead of getting stressed with ''I have to get fit'', I am going to concentrate more being strong and healthy. To make my workouts more fun, I might try things like dancing, yoga, pilates or even trampoline fitness. Come up with healthy recipes - I eat healthy most of the time but once I get bored with the same recipes, I start craving bad foods (donuts and McDonald's). I've decided to keep track of wha...

New Year - Fresh Start

I have never set a New Year's resolution. Of course, I've had targets I'd have liked to achieve but this is the first time I am going to write them down. I feel like if my goals are in front of me, I am going to be more committed to fulfil them. So here they are, my 9 goals for 2015! Get a better job - I just feel like I need a new, better job. Who wouldn't? Continue my Russian studies - I would love to go back to college and improve my Russian language skills. I need to practice frequently before another study year starts. Russian is quite a hard language, so I want to be confident and learn as much as I can. I have loads of textbooks and books that I need to start reading and filling. Spend more time with my friends and family - I want to visit my family and friends in Estonia more often. I'd also like to go out and do more things with my close friends living locally. Eat healthy - It is quite easy except when it comes to birthday parties, holidays, Chris...
