5
GOALS
01
Build
a
baseline
of
eight
hours
of
sleep
.
Set
a
consistent
10:45
pm
lights
-
out
and
protect
it
the
way
I
would
protect
a
meeting
with
my
own
boss
.
02
Train
strength
three
times
a
week
for
the
next
ten
years
.
Focus
on
the
squat
,
hinge
,
push
and
pull
—
not
on
any
single
program
,
program
change
,
or
personal
record
.
03
Run
a
half
marathon
under
two
hours
before
I
turn
forty
.
Requires
a
sustained
45–55
km
weekly
base
,
not
a
twelve
-
week
panic
block
in
the
spring
.
04
Cook
eighty
percent
of
my
own
meals
.
Know
what
is
in
the
food
I
eat
,
and
keep
the
grocery
list
to
things
I
can
pronounce
.
05
Get
a
full
physical
and
blood
panel
every
year
.
Track
the
same
twelve
markers
annually
so
trends
are
visible
long
before
symptoms
are
.
02
Mind
&
Learning
5
GOALS
06
Read
thirty
books
a
year
,
at
least
a
third
outside
my
field
.
Twenty
pages
a
night
covers
it
without
any
heroic
effort
or
reading
challenges
.
07
Become
genuinely
fluent
in
Spanish
by
2028.
Measured
by
a
forty
-
five
minute
conversation
with
no
English
fallback
,
not
by
a
streak
counter
.
08
Learn
one
hard
technical
skill
every
two
years
.
Something
with
a
steep
curve
and
a
real
artifact
at
the
end
—
not
a
certificate
in
a
folder
.
09
Write
five
hundred
words
every
weekday
morning
.
Thinking
on
paper
,
public
or
private
,
but
never
skipped
because
the
day
got
busy
.
10
Keep
a
reading
journal
with
one
paragraph
per
book
.
The
point
is
not
the
review
—
it
is
remembering
which
ideas
actually
changed
my
mind
.

Career
&
Craft
5
GOALS
11
Reach
the
top
five
percent
of
my
field
in
a
niche
I
chose
deliberately
.
Depth
beats
breadth
.
Pick
a
lane
,
defend
it
for
a
decade
,
and
let
the
generalists
stay
general
.
12
Ship
something
publicly
every
quarter
.
An
essay
,
a
tool
,
a
talk
,
a
course
—
proof
of
work
that
outlives
whatever
my
job
title
happens
to
be
.
13
Build
a
network
of
fifty
people
I
genuinely
respect
.
Stay
in
touch
quarterly
,
with
something
useful
in
hand
,
never
with
a
favour
request
attached
.
14
Mentor
three
people
at
any
given
time
.
Teaching
is
the
fastest
way
to
find
the
holes
in
my
own
understanding
of
the
work
.
15
Negotiate
compensation
every
time
I
change
roles
.
Know
the
market
band
before
the
first
call
and
never
accept
the
opening
number
,
however
generous
it
sounds
.
04
Financial
Freedom
5
GOALS
16
Save
twenty
-
five
percent
of
gross
income
every
year
.
Automated
on
the
first
of
the
month
,
so
the
decision
never
has
to
be
made
twice
.
17
Build
a
twelve
-
month
emergency
fund
before
any
discretionary
investing
.
The
fund
buys
the
freedom
to
say
no
—
which
is
the
actual
goal
,
not
the
balance
itself
.
18
Reach
financial
independence
by
fifty
.
Defined
as
a
portfolio
worth
twenty
-
five
times
annual
expenses
—
not
a
number
pulled
from
someone
else
'
s
lifestyle
.
19
Own
a
home
outright
before
retirement
.
Debt
-
free
by
the
time
the
mortgage
is
twenty
years
old
,
not
thirty
.
20
Learn
to
read
a
balance
sheet
,
a
tax
return
,
and
a
fund
prospectus
.
Enough
fluency
to
never
outsource
the
fundamentals
entirely
to
someone
else
'
s
optimism
.
05
Relationships
&
Community
5
GOALS
21
Have
dinner
with
my
parents
every
month
.
In
person
,
unhurried
,
with
every
phone
in
another
room
for
the
whole
meal
.
22
Keep
five
friendships
from
the
last
twenty
years
active
.
A
quarterly
call
or
a
shared
trip
.
Frequency
matters
far
more
than
intensity
here
.
2 / 4
23
Marry
someone
I
would
choose
again
on
a
bad
day
.
Compatibility
is
not
found
once
—
it
is
built
and
rebuilt
on
the
ordinary
Tuesdays
.
24
Spend
one
full
week
a
year
offline
with
the
people
I
love
most
.
No
laptop
,
no
agenda
,
no
notifications
—
just
time
that
cannot
be
interrupted
.
25
Belong
to
a
local
community
that
would
notice
if
I
disappeared
.
A
team
,
a
congregation
,
a
neighbourhood
group
—
something
with
a
roster
and
a
standing
commitment
.
06
Creativity
&
Play
5
GOALS
26
Learn
an
instrument
well
enough
to
play
in
front
of
people
.
Three
songs
,
memorised
,
played
out
loud
—
badly
is
fine
,
silently
is
not
.
27
Make
one
thing
with
my
hands
every
month
.
Furniture
,
bread
,
a
photograph
,
a
small
program
—
anything
that
did
not
exist
yesterday
.
28
Travel
for
two
weeks
somewhere
I
cannot
speak
the
language
,
every
other
year
.
Disorientation
is
a
renewable
resource
,
and
it
runs
out
faster
than
most
people
expect
.
29
Play
,
without
keeping
score
,
at
least
once
a
week
.
Pickup
basketball
,
a
card
game
,
a
foolish
video
game
—
nothing
tracked
,
nothing
optimised
.
30
Write
one
long
-
form
piece
a
year
I
would
be
proud
to
sign
.
Four
thousand
words
minimum
,
edited
at
least
twice
,
published
somewhere
real
with
my
name
on
it
.
07
Character
&
Inner
Life
5
GOALS
31
Tell
the
truth
faster
,
especially
when
it
is
expensive
.
A
habit
of
small
honesty
keeps
the
large
decisions
remarkably
simple
.
32
Keep
a
daily
ten
-
minute
practice
of
stillness
.
Meditation
or
prayer
or
a
walk
without
headphones
—
but
at
the
same
time
every
single
day
.
33
Apologise
cleanly
,
without
a
paragraph
of
excuses
.
Name
the
harm
,
own
it
,
ask
what
repair
looks
like
—
then
stop
talking
and
listen
.
34
Do
the
hard
thing
first
,
five
days
a
week
.
Whatever
I
would
most
like
to
avoid
becomes
the
first
item
on
the
list
,
before
email
opens
.
35
Journal
one
page
a
month
about
who
I
am
becoming
.
A
written
record
makes
drift
visible
while
it
is
still
correctable
,
rather
than
years
too
late
.
3 / 4
08
Contribution
&
Legacy
5
GOALS
36
Give
away
five
percent
of
my
income
and
five
percent
of
my
time
every
year
.
Both
totals
are
set
in
January
and
tracked
like
a
bill
—
never
decided
by
mood
in
December
.
37
Fund
one
person
'
s
education
who
is
not
my
child
.
Tuition
,
books
,
a
modest
stipend
—
a
multi
-
year
commitment
with
a
real
name
attached
to
it
.
38
Build
something
that
outlives
me
and
does
not
require
me
.
An
institution
,
a
body
of
work
,
or
a
business
with
genuine
succession
already
in
place
.
39
Leave
a
written
record
of
what
I
learned
.
Essays
,
letters
,
or
a
plain
document
of
the
useful
things
—
said
out
loud
while
I
am
still
here
to
say
them
.
40
Be
described
by
the
people
who
know
me
best
the
way
I
hope
to
be
.
That
is
the
only
scoreboard
that
keeps
updating
after
the
work
is
finished
.
