Oh god. I achieved nothing and my plan is to survive.
Actually, I successfully pulled off a short notice move and filed a short notice appeal. I plan to finish a lot of knitting projects I've been steadily working through the past few months. So maybe I'm okay!
I guess my resolution is to finish physical therapy and go to the gym. Maybe I'll add watermelon crushing as my goal.

No. 2293646

My resolutions are to travel to follow up with my travel plans for 2 large destinations, improve speaking & listening fluency in my second language, learn 3 more languages to the reading level, and to improve my finances.
And also not to shit up /ot/ the new time I make a new thread

No. 2293649

This year I…didn't achieve much kek. I read a lot of books and worked on my personal website, so I'm proud about that.

>lose some weight

No. 2293650

Be more honest with myself. Actually push myself to do things that give me that "mental freeze" procrastination mode. This year has been a huge learning experience wrt to handling emotions, and I would like to continue that into the new year. Maybe take up meditation, I just really need to mellow the fuck out. I want to even out my fitness journey progress by finally buying some 10 & 12 pound dumbells and make a lifting schedule to keep at.

to finally let go. to be at peace with everything that's happened. to let go of the things that i thought were helping me, but were only hindering me in the end. to let go of being overly ambitious as a way to not feel the entirety of my grieving process of the trauma i've been through. to be softer in my heart, towards other people and towards myself. to relax and let control go. to focus on healing instead of chasing after highs. to slowly let down my walls little by little and make new connections with people again. to focus on the present more instead of crying over the past and being nervous about the future.

to just let it be.

I achieved… nothing.

I hope I'm able to get in college next year and maybe do some sport.

Aside from the usual goals of trying to save money, reading more books, playing more video games from my backlog, etc. my new goals for 2025 will be to only spend money of Metaphor Refantazio, FF7 Rebirth and Pokemon Legends ZA depending on its release date, not buy the new Nintendo console depending on its release date as well, and to find the right timing to quit my job or get fired so I can negotiate well enough to earn unemployment benefits and finally get a break before getting another job. Another goal of mine is to keep borrowing things in the library to save money and not fuck up my eyes by pirating books online and reading them on a screen but I've started doing this recently and I'm good at keeping this habit, does it really count in that case?

In 2024 after an arduous battle that took a few years, I have finally regulated my nervous system and felt the most normalest in my life since probably before the age of 9. I also achieved the ultimate I-don't-give-a-fuck-ery which I wish sincerely upon all nonnas, it's an amazing feeling.

Next year I will continue working out and make my body look as good as possible and get monetary success doing what I love.

I probably set too many goals because I never end up achieving them all… really it's because I have bad time management and tend to be lazy. I hope I can look back at this post maybe a year from now and have at least half of those goals accomplished.

Why do you put $50k into a savings account instead of investing it??? Is it at least a hysa?

No. 2294365

>>2294349
no it's not a hysa. I've been working since I was like 14 years old and was afraid of investing because I had no idea what to do and thought I'd lose money so I'd put it right into savings. now my current job automatically takes some money from my paychecks and invests it for me as part of a retirement plan so I still don't really know what to do. I just recently started by buying and holding ETFs.

kept very consistent journaling habits for first time in my life. started doing reformer pilates and playing more tennis consistently, improved skills. read some books but not enough. french practice every day. stopped eating junk food and drinking soda. gained new job skills. graduated from my master's program.
overall, a good year but after graduating, somewhat helpless feeling. like i lost my purpose. though i should be grateful at least i have a source of income not having health insurance anymore scares me.
