The 5-Year Plan
Saturday, January 31, 2015
After turning a year older and entering a new quarter of my life, I sat down and got to work on my 5-year plan. I was flabbergasted to note that I had never really laid down medium- to long-term goals for myself, though I always had some ideas on what I would like to achieve in my lifetime.
I have four years to achieve my 5-year plan (because I consider last year essentially a part of those 5 years). These are some of my goals.
FAMILY
- Have a happy and contented marriage with B, as evidenced in small tokens of love, respect, understanding, compassion and forgiveness.
- Manage early education of A and Baby#2. Ensure they learn about good manners and proper decorum. Inculcate values of hope, faith, love, honesty, respect, hard work and personal fulfilment. Teach them about God and being good.
- Consistently celebrate family milestones, especially birthdays, anniversaries and major achievements.
- Plan and execute at least 1 week-long family vacation every year.
- Cook for the family at least once a week.
MONEY
- Net worth must be at least PHP X in assets and investments, not including real estate investments. The amount shall include cash, stocks, mutual funds, and insurance fund values.
- Total combined assets with B must be at least PHP Y in assets and investments, including real estate investments.
TRAVEL
- Visit at least 1 new country per year. Target to visit Japan, Korea, UK and France.
- Visit at least 1 new travel destination in the Philippines every year. Target to visit Batanes, Ilocos Norte, Palawan and Davao.
PERSONAL ADVOCACY
- Donate monthly to an organisation of choice, preferably one for children.
- Donate annually to the ASF.
- Volunteer at least one weekend per year for those in need through a reputable NGO.
- Blog about women empowerment at least once a quarter. Support women in the workplace.
THINGS TO LEARN
- Learn and understand world history and Philippine history.
- Learn photography. Take good photos.
- Learn Photoshop.
- Learn basic web design. Design your own personal website for your writings and photos.
- Learn how to run properly. Run a marathon.
- Learn how to be a good swimmer. Finish an aquathlon.
- Learn how to bike. Finish a duathlon.
- Join and finish a triathlon.
- Finish an MBA or CFA.
I have so many goals and so little time left! Wish me luck!
