No "New Year, New Me" Bullshit. if you aren't Already at the gym 4x/week you're already f*cking up (Guilty. Stopped going in sept).

This is for a shift in goals not for trying in life. If you aren't trying in life come back next year when your gas is actually on the pedal.\

List what you are going to do below.

Mine for 2016:

- Attend 2 trade shows related to Industries I am in (Marketing/Engineering) and network.
- Get a high paying engineering sales/pre sales day job. Tech sales is also a possibility. Finish undergrad degree. Hopefully car + food paid for. 100k++ yr 1 is the goal.
- Finish Beta test of one of my apps. Test market viability.
- Start second business joint venture with already successful said business person.
- Buy a house and considering renting out the other rooms to pay the mortgage. Living for free anyone? (Free car + unlimited meals + no housing == save your ass off. Straight into investments... All while paying down a big mortgage).
- Get a girlfriend. (It's warranted at this point after going out so much).
- Learn Python... Eventually take up algorithmic trading as a hobby down the line.
- Buy a new car

1. Graduate college, intern over the summer (requisite for graduating), be employed by the end of the year (or if not employed and going down an entrepreneurial path, then have a clear plan).

2. Learn German and Spanish at a 4 out of 5 level of fluency...I've had exposure to both so it's not like I'm starting entirely from scratch here.

3. Read 52+ books.

4. Keep a journal of daily life...I realized there's so many memories I can think of if someone just gives me small context of the situation. I don't want to forget my life so I plan on keeping a journal to track things that happen in my daily life that I'd otherwise forget...I also track all the things I learn in here - I'm going to read/watch/listen to various books/articles/documentaries/podcasts and write down what I take from each in here.

5. Start and carry on with Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

6. Squat 405, Front Squat 315, Deadlift 435, Bench Press 285, Overhead Press 205, Weighted Pullup 90, Weighted Dip 135 for 1RMs...cut down to 205 from 225 by year's end.

7. Visit 5+ new cities, visit 1+ new countries.

8. I have money goals at certain parts of the year that I won't describe in detail, it's not much as I'm still a student, but it'll give me a base as I head into the real world. I also want to study financial principles and things such as investing to get a clear grasp of future goals/plans.

9. Stick to my daily routine which is:
a) Wake up and read 2 news summarizing and 1 financial news summarizing email subscriptions...read an econ blog that I follow at night and keep up to date with news throughout the day.
b) Do some German/Spanish learning.
c) Read whatever book I'm working on.
d) Finish my to-do list which is based on my general goals and things that need to get done.
e) Journal entry.

Not to derail the thread since there are threads elsewhere about this, but I wouldn't recommend doing this.

If she's a temp, or if it's a job with moderate to high turnover (or both) it's not a big deal. I've done it a few times at my retail job. banged/dated three girls who were temps, and either they left or I left (for college). Every job is different.

@262 I hear ya buddy and would normally totally agree with you, but this girl is hot, and was giving off some major IOI's to me. Fuc**d up thing is since I asked her out via PM she hasn't responded

@Walkingman she isn't a temp, and this company has v low turnover of staff. Which made me hesitate but I still tried it with her

On of the bigger things I hope to achieve in 2016 is to run an Ironman. I also eventually want to run an ultra marathon but I'm going to start with an Ironman. What makes this even tougher though is that I want to be able to do this while maintaining a dominant wide shoulder physique.

One alternate possibility is that she was fishing for attention, to see how far her looks would carry her against her competition in the office.
