2025-2028 Plan

So, I just roughly (and some meticulously) thought about what I want to focus on in 2025. My issues now include:

• Recurring burnouts from evening classes – not enough time to resettle for the following day
• Not enough focus on building my skills in CrossFit
• Nutrition consistency, but getting there
• Variable monthly expenses – hard to control where my money is going
• Lack of focus and clarity when doing deep thinking work
• As much as I want financial stability, and know how to get there, I also want the balance and the ability to maximise my time for crucial work to think and strategise stuffs that would set me up for better financial return
• Budget for self-care stuffs

Nonetheless,I feel that I want to do a lot of self-care stuffs this year. I have neglected myself too much already. I am so done with taking care of other people’s needs over mine. To do this, I need some budget and have to work less hours than what I am doing now. One way of maximising my skill is by offering online training services. I gotta figure out (again!) what is the best way of doing this. My barrier now is so many things to do, so little time. I practically am spending most of my free times recovering at home. I feel like I am losing touch of myself – the person who loves to be out and enjoy the sun, beach, afternoon breeze, whatever. These small changes I am making are for the longer-term and period. I might not get what I want this year, so the goal is really to pave the way to make my life better.

This was my ideal state to achieve in 2 years (target August 2025) I wrote in 2023:

Financially stable, potentially earning at least RM3k and above, with savings on car maintenance and emergency events, manageable debt repayments. Steady stream of income and balance working on passion projects, family business and my role as a consultant after graduated from DBA program. Calm and happy.

The area I wanted to work on previously were, Marketing & Branding, Sales Opportunity, Time Management, Fitness & Well-being, Finance, Business Development, Preliminary Action. By end of timeframe, I would already have graduated and achieved at least 60% of my ideal state – especially the finance part where I am able to pay my monthly debts and secure some money for my savings.

Looking back, I am 90% there, only business left is to graduate my DBA degree. The new development plan is adjusted adding on my specific focus for the next 3 years (25 January 2025 – 25 January 2028) which are Work Delegation, Pending Job, Home Making, Hobbies, Self-care & Wellbeing, Devotion, Education, Fitness & Nutrition, Preliminary Action, Finance.

It took me almost a month to deliberate what I want to focus for the development plan, and actually 2 days in completing writing all of this. Let’s start working towards my ideal self and focus!
