New year resolutions

Its that time of year when we get back to basics and for me I pledge that 2014 is going to be just that.

Here are my new year resolutions

1. Get my money to work really hard. Making a financial plan work and reviewing them is a critical part of must do activities in your personal life.

2. Staying healthy.

I have started with an exercise plan which I aim to really continue. It is going to be tough to find time... but again at my age it is a must do activity. I have started looking at crossfit programs ... vs just lifting weight ... a program which allows one to be active in real life.

3. Work life balance
I read two days ago about a CEO talking about work life integration... vs work life balance... I still believe in work life balance... and I am going to use some new tech to enable me to do this

4. Get a hobby... pursue it to the hilt.
Now that maybe this blog itself .. in a new avatar .... maybe on a new page... look out for that.

Now... ensure you have your goals identified... its simplefinancialsense!!

New year resolutions 2012

Yep, the time has come to finalize my actions in 2012.

Here are the ones I plan to do

1 Focus on health.

Exercise and good healthy nutrition are key to a mans well being - also a woman ( just being diverse here).

My time has been too much focussed around work and I need to invest in myself.

For those people who think nutrition is important- nutrilite products from Amway are a great way to gain some of this. If interested- give me a buzz

Exercise - if I cannot go to the gym- do something else - but do it- walk skip or run.. I see very often all the clients that I host- they are very particular about this . I also need to make it mandatory for me.

No partial stars for this one . This is binary success

2. Focus on financials
It's time for me to ensure I have my house in order. As always - create a plan and stick to it

3. Life- work balance

Yes- life needs to come first. Balance is important and I need to ensure that family time is so much more

Well , as I always said- three goals are more than enough - it brings in focus.

I will continue to write my blog- it's become almost a weekly habit .. Maybe start another one and try and write for a journal. I want to target a thousand readers.. :).. So any help you guys can give me would be appreciated.

What's yours .. ??

One more day - for a new year

It's just another 26 hours for a new year here in India to start- less than 26 hrs.
How soon the year has passed, it just seems like yesterday that I wrote my new years resolutions and now it's time for me to critically examine what I have achieved in my personal life.

It's my annual appraisal :)

I wanted to do three main things
1. Take care of my health
2. Write my blog often- at least once a week
3. Start a part time business


Well my report card has very few stars or accomplishments. I have not come out with flying colours but my report card is better than last years. Last year there were no wins

These resolutions are important - that's why one makes them. AND it extremely important that you adhere to them. Having done a little and better than last year makes me feel good. But I must remember that having only done partial stuff is of no use

I am thinking of what my critical priorities are - what my resolutions are for next year. I have a little more than 25 hours more time

Have you thought about yours

Be smart
