Thinking of suitable goal is proving to be harder than I thought. I thought of traveling more. Well, that’s kind of underway, since I’m traveling to Cambodia in late June for 11 days. I We made a checklist of things we want to do while traveling that we don’t normally do back home, so there will be a seperate post for that :)
The goal making process itself was not linear. I never actually just sat down and went, look, here’s what you need to do. Everything is actually good and well right now, so I needed to think of something to make me a better person. Professionally, financially, emotionally.
Then I crossed out financial goals. I’m already doing that anyway. I’m on a pretty good track towards financial freedom, and balancing really well on work/life. I don’t want to, say, skimp any more or find a second job i order to increase my worth. I’m genuinely happy with what I’m making and how I use up my salary (I regularly save 1/3 of it).
Well, then, said my brain. Maybe you should tackle that problem. That problem that you even convinced yourself that it doesn’t even exist. It exists, and you want a goal, so suck it up.
Make more friends at work.
Ah, that one, I hear myself silently agreed. I have a few friends here, but no good friends, most are colleagues. One girl never even say hi to me (she pretends I’m not here most of the time, I really have no idea why).
This is an interesting challenge in itself, because I pride myself on finishing my work every single day. I clock in at 8, and (usually) by 5pm, I’m out of the door. Most people chat and go lunch. I sit at my desk and finish my work. Most people have WIPs (Works in Progress), I don’t. I have no backlog. And my supervisors are noticing.
I’m not going to change how I work. Heck no. But I will make more effort to be nicer, to actually chat to people, instead of just rushing off.
