Monthly Goals

So I failed horribly at my monthly goals for 2024. I achieved 3 and a half out of the 12 goals that I set out for. That was just bad, really bad. For 2025, my goals are very much straightforward and simple enough that I am confident I can achieve all of them. Let's just say it's pretty much payback for going all out last year.
  1.  January - Pay back credit card debt.
  2.  February - Pay back credit card debt & set aside for Hari Raya.
  3.  March - Pay back credit card debt & set aside for Hari Raya.
  4.  April - Buy Bangkok flight ticket & book hotel for December.
  5.  May - Pay back credit card debt.
  6.  June - Pay back credit card debt.
  7.  July - Pay back credit card debt.
  8.  August - Pay back credit card debt.
  9.  September - Pay back credit card debt.
  10.  October - Pay back credit card debt & book Bangkok activities.
  11.  November - Pay back credit card debt.
  12.  December - 1 week birthday trip to Bangkok.
Also, to motivate myself one way or another, I shall make a few easy goals.
  • To start back on my drawings - I have not drawn anything since May 2024 and part of me is annoyed that I'm not inspired or motivated to start something new even though I know that I need it for my own form of relaxation.
  • To complete at least 1 of my BL series books - I have the complete set of 3 BL-Wuxia series, 17 books total, and I have completed reading only 1 book. I need to start reading physical books again. I have been reading to many online light novels and manhua/manhwa/mangas.
  • To start going back to gym - I have stopped going to the gym since September 2024 and it's because I am just lazy. Anyway, now that there's a new cheaper option for gym within 5 mins away from my house, I need to start going again. After fasting month, obviously, so that I don't waste my membership fees.
  • To practice on my German - I mean it is being paid for by my company, might as well I start putting in the effort to do my own revision and brush up on my own. I mean, after 20 lessons, I am still horrible at it. I understand the intention/meaning behind the sentences but I honestly can't reply in German or get my pronunciation correct. 

In Shaa' Allah, I will be able to achieve all my goals for 2025.
