MUFC Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Most make plans during 2018 for the following year, have you or are you achieving what you set out, for the year? Or have you given up, and just going with the flow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted June 9, 2019 Administrator Share Posted June 9, 2019 Things going well and as planned, for sure. My course to get an official qualification through work is going as planned (3 out of 5 modules passed so far, 2 left). Found myself a girlfriend who I can genuinely see spending the rest of my life with. Saving a lot of money, as intended, for future since moving back home. Holidays and trips planned for the rest of the year (Amsterdam/Rotterdam, Valencia, Mallorca, Cardiff). Can't really complain right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a resolution now, not wait until the end of the year to change. Not on about plans to lose a few pounds or cut down on chocolate lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 My new years resolution was to become a morning person. Wake up early doors, and bed by 10pm. I have failed miserably but by necessity. I need to stay up to 12am to dream free the baby so the wife gets a nice fullish night of sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted June 10, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2019 I'd say 2019 is on track. Still got a few more career things to sort out to be completely happy. Romantically, I was taking a break for a few months and now I'm dating a really nice girl so things are looking up there. Wanted to start to eat a bit better and be a bit more fitter by going to the gym for the first time ever and I've been going at least twice a week since I started that and my eating is a lot better.

Subscriber nudge+ Posted June 10, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 10, 2019 It's turning out to be a year of changes for me; made some big decisions so I'm in the middle of it now and some more are ahead so I'm not sure how and where I'll end up at at the end of the year. I never really make plans anyway; just rough outlines; then set it to action and just take things as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Yeah - So I'm a planner, like to have a solid plan of where I want to be, and the steps needed to get there. So far, I'd say that I'm pretty happy. One thing I wanted out of this year was a promotion, and turns out that I am getting a new job that is 100% remote, and much better benefits and fewer hours. I also had the plan on taking language classes, which realistically is impossible in my current role, but my next job will allow me to do it. Wife and kid are both happy and healthy so that's been great. We real disasters, but this 2nd half of 2019 will be crazy with the new job, spending a week in New Orleans for a bachelor's party, spending a week in Detroit for a wedding, and my wife is hosting 3 baby showers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given you took a long journey back on a whisky-filled flight, is one change moving back to Europe? Regarding the last bit - likewise. Not a fan of rigid plans because there's always potential that things out of your control can impede you on the way and then you feel like you've failed if that thing stopped you from reaching your plan, even though you couldn't do anything about it. I have goals/targets both short-term & long-term but I don't like to set rigid time-frames on them and more of a person that will do things when I'm ready and comfortable in doing so.

Honestly don't know yet. I had to take a trip back this year for different reasons one way or another; will be certainly staying for a few months now that I'm here but I'm still undecided what I'm going to do after that. Have quite a few different options in terms of living and working so I'll have to make up my mind sooner or later... Don't think I'm willing to stay in Europe long-term though.

Dr. Gonzo Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The biggest thing that I've got on my plate for this year is this fucking wedding coming up. It's a real pain in the arse tbh and I can't figure out why it's so fucking expensive to get married but apparently that's just how it is. Other than that I've been on the hunt for a new job, but I'm not going to leave my current position that I'm pretty happy in unless I get the right sort of offer (the right money, right position, right part of the Bay Area because fuck the abysmal commutes there) and so far that hasn't come about yet after a fuckton of interviews this year. So it's sort of going as planned, sort of not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
