I spent some time trying to think of a "word" for this year and I couldn't really think of anything that fit or inspired me. I see the year ahead with a move and three jobs and the only thing I can think about is being exhausted (kids not going back school for three days and 2 hours may be fueling this feeling. So, my word for 2025 is "exhaustion." It's not inspirational or motivational, but just a real description of where I am and where I see this year.
2025 Goals
Work Goals
During 2025, I will finish my current detail to work on a
project that I started last year, complete 16 weeks of Portuguese training, and
start my new job in Rio. Keeping my head
above water for all this transition will be considered “success.”
- - Get a 3 in Portuguese on the first try
- - Complete the pilot for my work project and leave the project in a position to be carried forward.
- - Get settled into my new role in Rio.
Exercise Goals
- - Complete two Peloton challenges
- - Complete one thirty day Peloton streak
Personal Goals
- - Develop a habit of wearing my new glasses. I got glasses for the first time in my life and I am struggling with wearing them so far. I don’t need them for close up stuff and they bother me a little when I wear them otherwise… so we will see (pun intended)
- - Travel to three new places
- - Join/start a board game group in Brazil
- - Teach all three kids to ride a bike
- - Teach older two boys to tie their shoes
- - Get an ELO rating of 350 or greater on Ark Nova (Board Game Arena)
- - Read 14 books
