20 Goals for 2020
I’ve written in the past about the double sided sword that is a “to-do list”, but this isn’t a to-do list. These are the goals I hope to accomplish or make progress on by the end of the year.

I split my goals into the following categories after writing them all down as I envisioned the best version of me in 2020. I went back and got specific about some of my goals. For instance, I gave myself a measurable compliance rate and lab values for some health goals. For the goals that don’t have a simple measurable outcome like “be in control of my happiness” or “prioritizing quality time with family and friends” I set out the goal to continue to grow in those areas. This might mean reading a book, journaling or listening to a podcast on those topics.
