I’ve divided up the areas I want to improve on into sections: health (physical & mental); money; social; and education (final year of HS)

I’d like to set some short term goals for each thing, so far I’ve got this...

Money

make £500 profit (I have a plan, will take about 2 weeks)

Health

meditate 10 mins daily for 5 days
lift for 6 days in a row (I’ve been slacking)

Social

go to a club on New Years and talk to everyone, get involved as much as possible

Education

do 40 mins of study without distraction

These are all small & achievable goals that I’m hoping will keep me focused and disciplined. How can I improve on these? And is there anything else I should do moving forward and keep moving up the ladder? I’ve got little money, grades aren’t great, fuck all social life and I want to improve on all of this. Any help much appreciated as always, happy Christmas.

Money: sell useless things around your house. Remove clutter from your life, but you already seem to have a plan for this but if you just want to make 500 euros it's not a bad place to start.

Health: if your just starting ten minutes is fine but you should increase the time to improve faster every day. Helps clearing your mind. Lift

Social: I'd recommend finding the shittiest bar closet to you and becoming a regular. Going out more often will be better even if it's not the best place the more you go out the better. The closer to your place the easier to pull. For NY go for the new years kiss.

Education: look up the pomodoro method. It's a good technique, but you'll need a bit longer than 40 minutes for two full cycles. With that technique 40 minutes will seem like no time at all.

Good luck
