My goals for 2025

A new year means new goals. This is the first time I’ve actually written down some goals, and I feel like my goals are actually quite realistic. I’m not aiming very high, I just want to focus on some things and have a good time.

One thing I really want to focus on is reading. I’ve been reading quite a lot last year, but made the mistake of starting with A Song of Ice and Fire. While I am happy to have read that series, it took me almost the full year to read. So, next year, I want to read some books that I know I’ll enjoy.

I want to read series that I already own. I’ll either read them for the first time ever, or reread some that I haven’t read in a while. I’m going to start with the Grishaverse-book, so Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows, and then move on to some others. While I have planned the series, I’m not sure in what order I’ll read them. A series that I’ll read for the first time this year is Lord of the Rings. I wonder if I’ll like it. Reading is going to be fun this year.

Next, I really want to take social media and this website more seriously. I started it only last year and I’m quite happy with what I’ve been able to do so far, but I would like to improve. I would like to learn more about what is trending, what is being watched and what people enjoy to read so my accounts will be a little more successful. I also want to start posting more consistently. I want to post a review almost every single week, although that does depend on how fast I can read and watch content. I’ll write a blog about Formula 1 after every race. I would also like to be a little more personal by writing blogs about my life. This is the first one and I hope to be able to post a new one every month.

Another goal is cooking and baking more. I live at home currently, so it’s very easy to just let my mom cook. However, I feel like it is a very important skill to have. I’ll therefore try to cook at least once a week. The recipes will probably be quite simple, but that’s fine. I’ll see if I like to cook and perhaps if I can improve. It might also improve my relationship with food a bit more. I’m just a bit of a picky eater and I’ll think it’ll help if I start cooking.

Baking is just something that I want to do more. I love baking, I always have, but I often forget to do it or skip it when I don’t have the time. So I just want to focus on doing this hobby of mine a bit more. I’ve not really decided how often I want to bake, maybe once every two weeks, but that’s something I’ll just have to figure out later. As long as I bake, I don’t think I really need to force myself into a schedule.

In general, I just want to enjoy my free time. I want to be more present. I want to write down what I did, I want to take pictures, I want to spend my time alone and do the things I want to do. I want to paint, I want to draw, I want to read. I’m excited to go to a Grand Prix again and I’m looking forward to all the movies and TV shows I’m going to watch.

2025 is going to be a nice year. I’m going to focus on doing the things I love and want to do, while also improving my professional life. I hope to travel, but also want to save some money. I guess I’m just excited for the future.
