- Wanting to lose 8 pounds. I'm in very good shape, just want to get in great shape.
I was basically in my worst shape of my life last summer by being 23 pounds over my weight limit, and I fat shamed myself post vacation to get back into shape. Got me to get on it and should achieve my goal in 2-3 months imo even though I'm still pretty happy where I'm at atm. Diet, 2-3 times at the gym, 2-4 times jogging via C25K per week gets you results folks, just stick to it.
My job means I'm sitting on a chair all day and do that when I get home to work on personal projects, so I have work a bit on staying in shape.
- My two best friends are programmers and I'm a designer, and we finally started working together on making apps very late last year. We're finishing up a simple app now just to get used to every thing and prep up for future apps. Right now, we're just making an app with history tab as a focal point for people who want to keep their old formulas. It's simple, and gets us used to each other, I finally got to start using GitLab. We have two consumer and two business-based app concepts that we will be working on for the future. This current simple app will be released by the end of month/ first week or March at the latest. And we have two apps (one is small scale but useful) that need to be done by September. Overall goal is to bounce 3-4 apps a year and put ourselves in a position where one of them might blow up enough to successfully keep us self-employed, but we'll seen how that'll pan out.
- While UI/UX Design is a goal, one of my two dreams is to be a concept designer. I have given myself 5-7 years to get to the level I want to based on how I've improved the last few years and where I'm currently at. Maybe that's an arrogant outlook, who knows but that's what I believe atm. :\ I need to draw and learn more though, at a faster rate then I have the last few years. Could be getting into 3D soon, though I much prefer focusing on characters than settings for a career focus. This kinda leads me to..
- So I upload 1 youtube speed painting and release it on the first of every month, 3-4 minute video on a topic I feel like doing every month. Got me to learn (the basics of anyways) of Premiere, Audition & After Effects a few years back to be able to do this. This is just something that gets me to do one big piece per month, I've started this month's piece which is Horizon for example. I've posted links to some of the videos in some of the topics on gaf before actually. So this is about consistency, and I've only one video on the second of a month a while back when I wasn't happy about that piece (I did LittleBigPlanet then lol)

- Last one will be vague and not particular give anything away. Basically if one of my dreams is to be a great concept designer in the future which is
really fucking hard, this next dream curbstomps that one in terms of difficulty in terms of achieving it. I've given myself after some progress (...) at 5% chance of actually achieving this dream. I've told about 12-15 people in the last 4 1/2 years on what it actually is, because I feel it's only worth talking about if I achieve this one. It's also unsurprisingly in the creative field, but yeah.. I love working on it, and I can't stop despite knowing the incredibly low chance of achieving it. -_-
So yeah.. I've basically had little social life recently and will likely follow suit in the next few years especially. I have to time and choose my spots unfortunately, but I have to if I have a chance in hell in achieving any goals or dreams of mine. I don't know if I will as a certainty since nothing in life is guaranteed other than death, but I'm going to do my best to put myself in a position to succeed. As to whether I will, who the fuck knows.
