I’m quite optimistic about this upcoming year full of possibilities and exciting opportunities. The same way I used to do it, I’m going to split the goals into professional, personal, and the side quests.
Professional
-
Write a full book on Real world evidence analysis. The aim is to have 250 written pages by the end of the year as a first draft.
-
Get a promotion at work. I’ve been starting projects and gathering stakeholders to move the organization forward.
-
Finish the HEOR course I’m undertaking (finish the remaining 2 semesters)
-
Implement a startup idea. The success won’t be defined by the startup itself but by the accomplishment of the following milestones: cold call 100 people, and get 100 people on the web. Try geolocated ads.
-
Fix the blog. It has been a little abandoned during the last few years, and some of the posts got lost during an outage. I’ve moved it to github pages and I hope it can be its re-launch. I’d like to write there more regularly.
-
Build an air shirt dryer. I’ve seen some gadgets to dry shirts and instead of buying one I think it would be cool if I did some tinkering and built myself one from scratch through the different electronic pieces.
Personal
-
Paragliding
-
Bungee jumping
-
Keep my daily sport routine: Gym, run, and climb (plus hiking and other less regular events)
-
I’d like to find my style in comedy. I’d like to do two more performances one before summer and one after.
-
Visit a new country
-
Quit toxic internet: Dumb scrolling. Be more diligent with my time.
Side quests:
-
Have a small garden with pots on the terrace that survives in spite of my actions.
-
Potentially have a dwarf tree with fruits that I can automate it’s care
-
Go to swing class. It’s been a while since I’ve danced regularly. I’m missing it and it would be great to take up the habit again. Salsa was cool but maybe it’s time for a change.
-
Become more minimalist again. With time I’ve started accumulating more and more things and it’s time for a deep clean. I need to gain back some space at home
-
As always, I’d like to read more books. I already spend a lo of time reading but I’d like to choose my poison.
This upcoming year fills me with excitement because the sky is the limit. Like every year: when in doubt choose the adventure, conquer the world, survive another year, and (most importantly) be happy.
Happy New Year! :D
