This might be a bit late but after sharing my 3 financial goals in 2022, I decided to share the personal goals that I have. I believe that this year should not be money-centered. I want to grow as a person and provide my needs that will be beneficial to me.
Without further ado, here is the list of my personal goals that I manifest to be achieved.

Buying a laptop or land property
This is quite opposite to my first financial goals, as you remember, I want to achieve at least $2000 this year but it is possible that it will not happen if I consider this personal goal.
As a student, I really need to have my own laptop that will be helpful to my studies for the long term. Also, I am more comfortable writing on a laptop or devices with a physical keyboard. I believe that this is not only a liability but also a good investment for my studies and for myself.
If it is not going to happen, I want to buy land property instead. I am living in a place where most land is cheaper than the other place. I want to take advantage of it and buy it as soon as possible. They said land is the only asset that never had a price decrease. Thus, I want to buy as the price will increase anytime.
Being physically fit
I experienced working out and dieting for 5 months last year hoping to lose unwanted fats but it seems that my hard work was in vain. I don't know the reason but I think there is something wrong in the process.
Hence, I will try my luck this year and have self-discipline. In fact, I started working out on January 2, 2022. I am using an application downloaded from the playstore. According to the application, I am done with 30 workouts and losing 1609.3 KCAL this month.
Honestly, I want to know if I really have progressed by gaining weight. Unfortunately, there is no available device or tool nearby to measure my weight. Thus, I just took a photo of myself last January 2, 2022 and compared it to the next month and so on.
Seriously, the only thing that I want is to lose my fats especially belly fats because it is really annoying and to have some confidence in myself.
Memorize at least 100 digits of Pi (π).
Call me weird but I find this goal interesting. As a student, I also need to have a good memory especially in mathematics as my chosen course is in line with it. This is why I chose memorizing Pi digits for the exercise of my memory.
So far, I have already memorized the first 51 digits after one day of memorizing. I just lay down and read it repeatedly then memorized it. I skipped a lot of days without reviewing but I believe that I can catch up.
Nevertheless this goal is not necessary because it is a personal choice and not a requirement. Of course, I will not pressure myself to do this but I will do my best to comply with my goals.
Try to be a bookworm
Reading has a huge contribution in improving vocabulary and enhancing our knowledge as a writer. Hence, I want to try to be a book worm and read as many books as I can. I believe that it will be a good investment for myself.
I already bought books but most of it is about finance. Rich dad, poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki, some books by Chinkee Tan, and Atomic Habits for productivity (I forgot the author) but I heard that it is a great book to read. I almost finished Rich dad, poor dad using an e-book but I want to have a collection of books. Also, I prefer reading using an actual book.
Be organize in everything
I am really a fan of cleanliness where there are times that I am meticulous. I am the type of person who hates mess but not organized and having messy desks, emails, portfolio and everything.
This is the issue that I want to overcome as part of growing up and being mature.
Learn playing guitar
I am also fond of listening to music. In fact, I am writing this blog while listening to random classical music by Mozart, Beethoven and other popular composers.
I only know how to use an aerophone instrument such as clarinet and flute (that I almost forgot how to use) because I have not used my instruments for a long time but I can still read musical notes...slower than before.
I want to try something new and try playing guitar. I think it is also a good hobby especially if you are alone or bored. I want to have a talent in music.
Conclusion
I do have a lot of goals but I believe that I (somehow) have plans to accomplish them. Furthermore, I never wanted to pressure myself and I will only do the thing that I can that will not affect my studies.
I believe that I have one enemy to achieve these goals and it is myself. I lack self-discipline but I will do my best to conquer it to be able to pursue my goals.
