Happy new year y’all! It’s 2022 and I, for one, am soooo glad 2020 and 2021 are over. It’s been quite a ride for me these last few years.
Covid + my 3 year-old doggy has kept me land-locked this year in Texas. Rather than my normal ‘escape the winter in Texas’ 3 month hiatus to the Caribbean I’m staying here for the most part. My dog is a little codependant.
In any case, at the beginning of the year I like to set my goals (1 month, 1 year, 5 year goals). Normally this is a private thing, but for whatever reason this year I’m posting it publicly. Perhaps it’s to inspire you to do the same exercise?
Goals:
1 month:
- no drinking alcohol – at all!
- cut down / quit smoking cigarettes
- begin working out again
- begin to simplify life (get rid of extra stuff I don’t need)
- complete my overdue taxes for 2019 and 2020
- clean my office
1 year:
- find a Christian girlfriend
- no sex until I’m with someone who’s extremely likely to be my lifelong partner
- grow closer to God
- organize the house and finances
- up my investments in Crypto by at least 200%
- buy a home / investment property
5 year:
- get married to my best friend
- have a kid or two
- buy the home I currently rent
Progress report as of 1/15/2022:
Doing great! My last drink was on 12/27/2021.

Meh – doing ok, I’ve cut my smoking down by about %33 so far this month
1/15/22
Meh – doing ok, my knee still bothers me from that failed backroll behind Josh’s Malibu last summer, but it’s getting better

Doing great! Sold the stand-up jetski, traded my 4×4 golf cart for a simpler (and newer) 2wd EzGo. I have the parts for my bass boat project, just waiting for a few warm days to install them and then I can sell it.
1/15/22
Doing great! Taxes are done (and I reduced my IRS debt by $13,000.00!). I’ll even get a refund from the IRS for 2021 for the first time in over 15 years.
1/15/22
This is about 50% done.

Welp – there you have it. If you found this exercise helpful, feel free to send me yours!
Much love, James
