New Year's Resolutions And Goals

I should start making my goals and resolutions early. I believe my success rate will be higher if I start following my goals/resolutions as early as January 1.

Last year, I started making my list January 2 then added more on January 4. Here's my list:

1. I intend to post 1 blog post every month at least. (Achieved) 
2. Change my blog theme/template (Achieved) 
3. 30 minutes a day of ME time 
4. Save BIG time 
5. Eat more veggies, AT LEAST one serving per day
6. Give to charity, maybe I could set aside some money everytime I get my pay check. (Achieved) 
7. Learn a new skill, I haven't decided what to learn this year.

Of the seven, I was able to accomplish 3. The others, not so much.

30 minutes a day of ME time, I did mostly sleep in the afternoon. Not so productive but I work till 4 or 5 AM.

Save BIG time, I was able to save but because of unforseen events in my life like taking a trip with my family to HK, the Habagat 5 day flooding, new laptop, etc., I had to spend the money. However, I do have insurance now so that can be considered as savings.

Eating more veggies is a bit of a hassle for me because it's not practical to buy veggies so only I could eat them. I live alone now. I do eat a lot of fruits though.

Learn a new skill, since I haven't decided which skill I should learn, this one went bust.

This year, I should do the same activities and more. So here's my list:

1. I'll keep making 1 blog post every month at least.
2. 30 minutes of ME time, preferably exercise at least 3 times a day. 
3. Save by setting aside 5K a month.
4. Get rid of credit card debt. I'm close to achieving this, 50% done.
5. Eat more veggies and some fruit, AT LEAST one serving per day
6. Give to charity, maybe I could set aside some money everytime I get my pay check. I need to decide the amount I should set aside for this per month.
7. Learn a new skill. I should learn how to code or at least try. There are resources online and I have been wanting to do this.
8. Read, or should I say finish reading, 1 book every 4 or 5 months. I should have read at least 3 physical books in 1 year.

I'd like to add 1 international travel this year but I'm not sure if I'd have the time and money. I may need to buy an airconditioner, inverter type, to prepare for the hot summer. Inverter types are a lot more expensive than the regular ones but they are earth friendlier and more energy efficient. My life revolves around making my life better while I work so I may need to prioritize on the airconditioner over international travel.

I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed. I know I'd have a higher success rate this year because I'm planning to succeed and succeed early in the game. I still need to breakdown each goal in order to make them more specific but this will just be for my eyes only.

Wish me luck!

Presumptuous

I submitted a ticket to a local hosting company asking if they have private registration for domains. This is the answer I got:

Hello,

At the moment our packages have free domain privacy but that may change in the future.

Why do you need domain privacy, what type of site do you plan to run?

Kindly read our TOS at [xxxxxxxxxx]/terms most specially the Acceptable Use Policy.

It's disappointing that they would ask something like that plus give you their TOS at the same time. Their choice of words and manner of delivery makes me think they are suspicious.

I got my domain through Google Apps and the private registration was offered as part of the package, no questions asked.

Oh well... They probably have thousands upon thousands of customers so they don't need me.

This made it easier for me to choose the alternative solution.
