January 2025 Review

This was a decent month. In general, things went better than I expected but it could have been better. I gained weight, which I don't like but I don't want to be too quick to judge since I have been exercising. My mental health on the other hand is great. My productivity still needs some work and I have made zero progress on the relationships end. My income has increased but I have made no progress in my other skills. I can only hope things will go the same or better next month.

Health

According to my spreadsheet I have gained 0.6KG. Not good. My diet hasn't been the best so I think I will have to make more aggressive changes. I have exercised consistently since 05/01/2025. On some days, I really did not feel like exercising but I did it anyway. I'm surprised I haven't missed a day since I started. My mental health has been fine. It was hard to get through some days but usually after a few days, I felt good again.

Productivity

The plan was to focus on personal projects but life happens. This month I've had more work than I know what to do with. So my main focus has been client work and my job. I am productive but I've noticed there's a lot of wasted time. One of the things I'm going to be doing is trying to notice in the moment and get back to work.

Actions progress

DOING Finish three personal projects [0/3]

TODO Build three digital products

Programming

I started strong in the first week but I feel off the wagon around week three and never got back on. I could blame it on the fact that I have more work to do but that would just be an excuse. I could have made time and I will.

Relationships

Money

The main goal here was to double my income and I'm happy to say that I'm more than halfway there. I got a raise at work which helped a lot so now all I have to do is to increase my other income sources and I should be good. On starting a business, I'm not sure how I feel about this now because multiple people are trying to start a business with me and I'm not sure if it counts if I don't own all of the business. I'll think more about that and report next month.

Other skills

I learned some guitar but I fell off after week two and I haven't touched my guitar since. On the UI/UX side I have learned nothing. I'll try again this month, but if it doesn't work I might have to pick just one to focus on.
