For those, who have read my previous article, let me tell you that I haven’t still asked the girl out as I wasn’t in a really good mood since yesterday morning. The reason being S.A.D.!

Hey wait, did I tell you about S.A.D.?

SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a type of depression related to changes in seasons. In simple words, whenever the weather is dry and cold, I feel low and terrible. That’s it!

So yes, the weather was terrible yesterday and thus, so was I.

But this article isn’t about that. I will ask her for sure and once I do, no matter what her answer is, I will write about that here.

Okay, so GOAL SETTINGS!!! Ahem, ahem.

Working at Madpackers gave me a chance to work with Mayank bhaiya, who I consider as my present mentor. It’s only through him that I learned the importance of breaking down your goals into smaller goals, making a plan out of them, and eventually, achieving them.

Up until now, it has tremendously helped me. I mean, the least I am getting with goal setting is management and leadership training.

So on the 30th, he asked me to create a list of goals and it has to be a bit kinda impossible to achieve. He said, “yaar agar asaani se achieve ho jaaye toh goal kis baat ka”.

I didn’t get the time on the 31st and yesterday, we slept all day because of the hangover (after getting the vaccination).

Okay, sorry to cut in between but yeah, a dog bit me last month, so I have to get these 4 vaccination shots and on 1st January, it was my last one.

Now, getting back on track, 1st January just passed with me and my friends fighting with the hangover, that stupid headache, and nausea.

I decided to go running today morning but the weather is so damn cold here in Delhi. I mean, the first thing that I see after waking up is the condensation on the window!

So waking up at around 9, I took a bath, wore a pajama and a fleece hoodie, took my laptop, and got inside a warm blanket. Then, I published a post on the blog, create 2 posts for Instagram, and lastly, created the list. Pheww!

Here it is. Making it public, so that it feels real and makes me serious about it. Will keep on adding on it with time.

  • Make at least 30 Videos
  • Write at least 50 articles (like this one)
  • Do more interviews on Stagbite
  • Go to Pondicherry for a vacation
  • Complete 2 courses with certifications (MBA & Digital Marketing)
  • Go to a Karaoke with your favorite person (that girl *fingers crossed*)
  • Read at least 5 fiction books
  • Apply for jobs abroad in big MNCs
  • Raise affiliate earning up to rs. 8000 per month
  • Get into the game of getting more business through advertisements
  • Write one well-researched article
  • Get a new mobile phone

Will explain each goal and why I chose it later. As of right now, I have to go to the railway station as my brother is coming today from home.

So, bye. Wish you prepare a list of goals too and work on it and that’s it. All the best :)
