2016 Goals and 2015 Review
My 3 Goals for 2016:
-
Cook more. Having lived in NY for 10 years prior to moving to CA, my fridge largely consisted of water and various alcoholic beverages. Since I'm going to be a parent soon, figure it makes sense to start developing this skill which has largely been neglected. The current plan is to try to learn one dish a week. Approximating a ~25% success rate, figure that will give me 10~15 go-to dishes by year-end. If anyone has any tips or advice for best practices, would love to hear them! Particularly interested in inventory management as I think we currently throw out ~50% of the vegetables that we buy right now.
-
Learn more about the pharmaceutical industry and improve my Chinese. I have been helping Cat's dad as the finance director for his generics pharma business this year so I need to learn more about the field and improve on my Chinese reading and writing comprehension.
-
Write more. This will help to formalize and document my thoughts.
Review of my 3 Goals for 2015:
-
Start a family. We are having twins in April :)
-
Spend more time with family. Visited my family in Harbin for Chinese New Year and spent a good amount of time with both our parents.
-
Have fun. Having a break year before parenthood, I took this year to do some backpacking in Europe, picked up boxing as a hobby, spent a bit more time programming, and took a babymoon vacation with Cat to Croatia.
