Week 25: Progess report Q2!!

Dear reader,

"Progress is a slow process, the reward is the most fun feeling to process"

We have made it all ready past the second quarter of the year! That means that with all has happened the year is half way finished. This is also a good moment to check upon if you have reached part of your goals for the year. Have you been doing what you want or are you stuck and has the time got a way from you?

Today I am going to show you my Q2 report card. I am going to look at my goals, habits, finances and check my overall score. I will be comparing to Q1 but I will remain objective since in this quarter way different things have happened than the last quarter. It is time again to have a look at myself and to see if I am on the right track and what might need to change.

Goals: 

Let's get the board out again and see the progress that I have made. If I look at my personal goals I do notice that I take action right a way. My procrastination has gone down but I still can be lazy sometimes. My second goal to read 20 books have gone by easily. I have read 22 books up until now and I am on my way to double that goal for the end of the year.

When looking at my financial goals I am on track, I keep my savings goal and I keep monthly investing. At the end of the year I know better if I have reached my financial goals. I am on track and I do keep track of them.

My health goals have gone very good this part quarter. I have gone 90 days without any alcohol!! I am on track to reducing to zero and I feel so much better if I am not drinking. Working out has been tough. With the gyms closed during the corona lock down I have improvised a home gym and have been running outside. The workouts felt good but it is not the same as the actual gym. I hope to start back soon again.

I have eaten meat on special occasions and I felt that my energy was gone for a few days. So I am going to stick and keep to my vegetarian or vegan diet.

My dreams are slowly staring to come out. I have put myself back out on the dating apps and even had a date. Unfortunately it stayed with one date but it was good to be out again. Traveling is hard because of the lock down. There are plans to see up until September how everything goes and maybe take a trip at the end of the year. My business startup is going well. I am working on designing a website and hope to have it up and running by the start of 2021.. to be continued!!

Habits:

Since the last report I have been working and reading on habits. I have read some great books about them and I have worked out a way that habits work effectively for me and that I can track them easily. What I do is I write out 5 habits that I want to have or that I would rather see gone. Before I go to sleep every evening I check of that I have completed the changing habit. This allows me to keep score and to keep track of the progress of each habit.

Finances:

In the last report I have talked about the fact that it was a good investing opportunity. Looking back at the past months and looking at the stock market I can see easily that you could have made 30% or higher gains if you have invested in the down turn. I don't think that we are back to normal financially and there will be another down turn that will be far worse. So I keep myself financially prepared and financially educated so that I can make the most out of every opportunity that arises in the future.

Overall score 8:

Goals: 8.5, I have used the past quarter effectively to work on my goals and make them happen.

Habits: 7.5,  I have learned how to use my habits effectively. How to create new ones and break old once. Now I need to see if they stay on track!

Finances: 8, I have learned a lot from the last quarter and I can see my net worth grow with a steady pace.

I have felt that the last quarter was a moment of learning and focusing on what is truly important. You need to deal with setbacks and use your own creativity to get what you want out of life.

Please check up on yourself once and a while to see how well you are doing and if you are not loosing track. Create what is for yourself the best way to do so and see where you need improvement. If you are able to do this than you can control your life a bit better and the future would be amazing.

Thank you for reading and see you next week!!
