Inspired by the blog of Matthew Dicks, here is my list of things I want to be better at. The idea is to revisit this list every year to track progress. Today is Sunday 15 September 2024, and in no particular order, here we go: 

1. Dancing
2. Calling my family
3. Completing tasks in a timely fashion
4. Waking up early
5. Singing
6. Remembering names, faces, and facts about people 
7. Languages, especially Mandarin
8. Exercise, especially plyometrics and distance running
9. Regularly cleaning my desk and room
10. Being more assertive when something wrong is transpiring
11. Leadership
12. Small talk
13. Organising catchups or checking in with old friends
14. Overcoming social media and gaming addiction
15. Saying “I love you” to people I love
16. Memorising quotes, poems, and speeches
17. Consistency in writing 
18. Consistency in reading 
19. General knowledge on topics I should know but never learnt, especially history and politics
20. Admitting I do not know something when I feel like I should know it or have recently forgotten
21. Spending less time on email
22. Discipline with all of the above
