Re-evaluate goals in July 2024 Personal Goals 1. Read 20 books 2. Read 2 career related books 3. Finish 2 crafting projects - I want to replace phone browsing with doing crafts.

Work out 15 times a month - I'm trying to be more active, hopefully writing this one out will help keep me on track 5. Use standing desk everyday - Same as above, I want to be more active and I'm sitting way too much while working. Hopefully this keeps me on track. 6. Close unused accounts - I have some random 401(k) and HSA accounts that I've moved money out of, just need to close them now 7. Get a will Edit: Goals locked-in

Good-Natured Filth posted:There are a million blog posts out there on how to properly use a standing desk (example). Personally, I've found that I need a supportive mat to stand on, otherwise it fucks up my whole back, which can lead to headaches for me. Also for proper ergonomics, a standing desk and your monitor are supposed to be higher than you might think. Yeah my first guess is that my monitors are the wrong height. Thank you for the blog link, I’ll go through it and make adjustments. I can always count on goons to point me in the right direction!

End of March Update 2024 Financial Goals 1. Contribute full amount to 401(k) - Set to auto contribute - ish, gonna have to catch up on this one. Had some funkiness happen with my work 401(k) due to them switching financial providers, so we weren’t able to contribute for the month of March. I put the extra from my paychecks into the Roth and vacation goals instead to try and finish them up faster, and will increase my 401(k) contributions for the rest of the year to still max it. 2. Set aside max amount for 2025 IRA - $2267 of $7000 3. Set aside $1,200 for vacations- $1100 of $1,200 4. Figure out what to do with extra money - Currently evaluating what this actually looks like/how much/etc. 5. Help Mr. Pipistrelle set up an IRA 6. Re-evaluate goals in July 2024 Personal Goals 1. Read 20 books - 8 of 20 2. Read 2 career related books - 1 of 2 3. Finish 2 crafting projects - 1 of 2 4. Work out 15 times a month - 11 of 15 - Turns out I’m not great at making myself workout… 5. Use standing desk every working day 6. Close unused accounts - 3 of 4 7. Get a will
