# 2010 Plan & Goals # Here's the blueprint to build a 2010 that I will find *awesome* in reflection: ## Entrepreneurship ## Know how to execute most small business plans so that I can rapidly convert ideas into experiments; know how to run a company successfully. ☐ Start another company ☐ Outsource some business tasks to solidify understanding ☐ Create a short document synthesizing what I've learned about marketing ## Health ## Improve and then maintain health, optimizing for longevity. Try for (and realistically achieve) the best health of my adult life. - Resume running regularly - Spend 30+ minutes outside everyday (weather permitting), for general sanity and for vitamin D ☐ Complete Couch-to-5K ☐ Experiment with mediation - Synthesize, internalize, and share (☐) newfound knowledge of nutrition ## Language Learning ## Solidify Japanese, then start thinking about another language. ☐ Learn all 1,945 Jouyou kanji (meanings only), know ~400 at present ☐ Take the JLPT (level 3? 2?); December 5th, registration in July ## Meta ## Optimize and systemize personal processes. - Incorporate more feedback and optimization (data and accountability) - Systemize goal-setting process (even if a 90% solution) - Create a heroic personal definition and attempt to live up to it - Write personal stories (especially for 2009) - Stick to GTD. In fact, do it better ## Money ## Develop sources of location-independent, automated, diversified income. Wisely manage the money I have. - Create two more income streams ☐ 1. ______________________________ ☐ 2. ______________________________ ☐ Achieve net positive cash flow (even if this must include active income) ☐ Earn $1k per month in passive income by the end of the year ## Social ## Overcome anxieties (however small), make smalltalk, make more friends, be friendlier to strangers, be a better storyteller.
