My plans for 2009

with 9 comments

Time flies and we’re already in the middle of January 2009. Things have been going so far so good for me…though a little busy particularly at work. Well, that doesn’t stop me from coming up with a lot of plans for 2009 since I’ve promised myself to make 2009 a much better year than 2008 (which I didn’t accomplish much).

One of my 2009 plans - keep fit !

One of my 2009 plans - keep fit !

Here are some of my plans for 2009:

  1. Have an emergency fund (I don’t have one yet :P ).
  2. Improves my financial net worth by 5% to 10% (the higher the better of course).
  3. Spend more time with my family members and be a good son and brother.
  4. Stay healthy and fit by going to the gym more regularly (which I’ve failed due to the project urgency =_=).
  5. Start developing some useful IT products and share them with other people.
  6. Contribute more to charity such as blood donation.
  7. Earn more from online. Currently not earning much =_=.
  8. Improve my creative skills – drawing, designing, creative writing, etc.
  9. Learn more about other investment types in Malaysia.
  10. Have an idea (or more) on the type of business I plan to start in a few years time.
  11. Read more and more non-fiction books!

As you can see, some of those plans are pretty challenging but I don’t see them as impossible. In 2008, I’ve set some ridiculously difficult goals and ended up not achieving any of them. This year, I’m more realistic and I do believe all the above can be achieved. Just need to be more hardworking. :)

Actually, I intend to write my predictions for 2009 but….I ended up writing too much!! So I’m going to put it into another separate post. :)

    By sharing, means it’s free. :D Freeware to be exact. I prefer to either charge people or not to charge at all.

  8. It depends on how you define it then, a person’s success in life is all about 10. But yes family and health are also the tops.

    It depends on individuals. Some people do not like to be their own boss, so we can’t judge a person’s success in life with item number 10. :)
