2025 Goals, Resolutions, Whatever

Every year, I scribble down a mix of goals, dreams, and random "let's see if I actually do this" ideas. Call them resolutions, plans, or just things I hope don’t stay in my head too long—they’re my way of keeping life interesting. This year’s list is all over the place, from fixing my balcony to exploring new corners of the world. Some goals are about leveling up, some are about tidying up, and a few are just about enjoying the ride. Here’s what I’m aiming for in the year ahead.

• Visit a new country: Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, or Timor-Leste

• Spend a week at a resort in Thailand (Phuket or Hua Hin)

• Read 12 books throughout the year

• Get a new built-in walk-in closet

• Stretch every night (continuation from 2024)

• Donate 50 kg of clothes to charity

• Fix the water problem on my balcony (Condo above me is leaking and soaking my drywall ceiling, just haven’t gotten around to addressing it)

• Have all the drains in my condo replaced

• Save $50,000 by the end of the year

• Double my Bitcoin holdings
