2013 - I Make My Own Milestones

2012 was a big change for me. I moved to a new company. Everything changed – my routine, my priorities and myself. I forget to look back. I missed to appreciate how big this year was for me, not just career-wise.

The Navi 2012 planner I received from my mentor was supposed to have done it, but I wasn’t able to spend time on it. It was supposed to be a regular status report for personal, health and career goals. But as they say, it’s never too late. I’m not going to write it on stone, but I intend to do some parts of it on this blog. It’s something totally worth it, specially this particular list, 101 things to do, “I make my own milestones”, and I guess I will totally clear it out this 2013 –

  1. ride a bike around your neighborhood
  2. become better at small talk
  3. accept an invitation that you normally wouldn't
  4. for one day, do not complain even once
  5. sleep more
  6. do something new at least once a month
  7. catch yourself saying filler words "um, like, yeah, so"
  8. eliminate those words from your everyday language
  9. give blood
  10. get a famous person's autograph
  11. set your style and own it
  12. dress in one color from head to toe
  13. buy those shoes that make you feel like a million dollars
  14. choose a word that defines you
  15. live that word
  16. send someone a care package
  17. give a gift you made from scratch
  18. record a video of yourself
  19. fly out of the country just to see a band in concert
  20. make a "feel good" playlist
  21. make a "soundtrack to my year" playlist
  22. share your favorite playlist with a friend
  23. give a way something that means a lot to you
  24. make a list of things that make you angry
  25. next time you're mad, try dancing out your anger
  26. finish a TV series in one weekend
  27. carry a good luck charm
  28. witness a miracle
  29. go an antique furniture hunt
  30. paint something with bright colors
  31. for a month, document one aspect of you - what you wear, eat, give, receive
  32. make someone a good cup of coffee
  33. skip dessert for a week
