What's the one thing you had wanted to change / start / stop doing this year - call it resolution at the beginning of the year? How are you doing on that?
I wanted to get into a better rhythm on fitness and sustain the good eating habits from last year.
Where am I?
After a wasted JFM quarter, did somewhat okay in Apr, May and June. July has been not too bad. Baby steps: trying to get 3-4 hours in a week for fitness. I have realised habit formation is a function of stacking. When I workout on Saturday, I want to go to the gym on Sunday too and then on Monday and Tuesday and so on.. When I miss 2 days in a row, then I degrade to saying okay, let's start on Sunday - as a fresh week. Trying to break out of that and convincing myself today is as good as Sunday. :P Definitely improved, but a long way to go.
Would love to know about others here on and hope to get more inspiration.
As they say, one day at a time. So do you want to wait till Jan'24? :)
I think for the first time - doing actually really well
Wanted to work at an amazing place (something early stage) and doing that this year
Have gotten the time to exercise more regularly.
Getting more time to spend with family and friends.
Overall, this is probably the best year I have had since college, I think.
Switched from a large company to early stage. Built a ton of muscle, pure grindset. Tons of potential, and we’re just getting started, there’s ton of value to be created.
I think the moment I switched from New Years Resolution to “Let’s do it tomorrow” mindset, things changed.
I tend to have a shorter term view on the things that I can do while a longer term view on the results that they can have.
@salt - amazing! So good to hear that you are having fun. Anything worth it has grind as the key ingredient. Onwards and upwards.
How long did the muscle building take and how do you measure it? Just starting on the journey hence the question.
So going good so far. Hopeful to get it all done by end of year.😁
Gained 10kgs in 2022, started going to gym in Feb 2023, lost 5 kgs till now.

Wanted to read 10 books, I've completed just 1 till now.
Wanted to change the job but got 30% hike so staying back now.
Tried to learn day trading but realized it's not my cup of tea.
Currently focussing improving my skills and bringing depth in my knowledge
Wanted to change my job, did that but now feeling really unhappy here. Didn’t realise that comfort zone is called comfort zone for a reason
Oh that’s unfortunate.
The good thing is that when you put your mind to something you have made it happen. So I’m hopeful it gets better for you soon.
We're in the second half of 2024, so how are you doing with your goals and resolutions?
