What are you all hoping to work towards for 2025? Not so much New Years Resolutions but more along your short, or long term goals.

Personally, I have 3 goals:

  1. Focus on uni/studying, getting my placements done and ensuring I am making the right decision for a career change.

  2. Write the next two books in the VDV series and release 3 of them (2 to be written and one already written).

  3. Take steps and make plans to move back to Melbourne/Victoria, hopefully being able to do so by end of 2025.

Great goals, and do-able!

I think mine are:

  1. Develop an exercise habit of some sort. Anything, really, even just regular walking. I used to do heaps of incidental exercise (like riding my bike to work) but now I don’t, and I really need to do something to help with stress management
  2. Start to investigate other jobs. I’m lucky that I have a good job and work with (mostly) great people, but I’m pretty burnt out. But also nervous about change and not sure my skills are transferable.
    Saying ‘investigate’ makes it seem less scary, lol

Change is indeed scary, but you got this. If I can do it, anyone can that's for damn sure.
