    What's everyone's plans for the coming year? This year I've worked harder than I ever have so I'm hoping next year will pay off. Here's my goals:

    • Get a new job :) Finished my PhD this summer (hopefully) so I might move into industry or try to get a post doc
    • LOADS MORE WOMEN
    • Travel
    • Move abroad

    Learn a new skill - programming.
    Be less fat.
    Learn enough of a language to be able to get by.
    Give up alcohol. For the foreseeable future. And only have a few around special occasions. And basically get back into enjoying the things I did before I started drinking...all those years ago! :(
    Save!

    My goal for 2015 is to accomplish the goals of 2014, which I should have done in 2013, because I promised them in 2012 and planned them in 2011.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,558 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Become more charitable. All stemming from the tear-jerking brilliant High Hopes Choir documentary on RTE a few weeks ago. Basically donating the price of a fiver a week. One less pint is only a good thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Hopefully do my masters if everything works out, if not do some kind of course. Been out of college over a year and the desire to undertake something new is kicking in.

    Score more goals in lunch time football.


  • Registered Users Posts: 93 ✭✭BadMoonRising


    Read more. I've gotten out of the habit of reading in the evenings due to the interwebz. Got catch 22, lord of the flies and hitchhikers guide to the galaxy the other day so I'm all set! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 204 ✭✭shuffle65


    Lose the half stone I have gained over the past few weeks! Got to cut out eating c**p, which I had done for the past couple of years, and start exercising regularly again

    Start a savings plan

    Lighten up and enjoy life more :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,816 ✭✭✭Baggy Trousers


    Get busy living.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    -Full drivers licence
    -Travel
    -Lose weight (probably won't)
    -Try to become somewhat financially independent
    -Be less hard on myself and stop over-analyzing little events


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,985 ✭✭✭✭dgt


    My goal is to be less ambitious


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 170 ✭✭rainemac


    - Exercise more
    - Read more

    I'll try to be nicer to Dubs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    To be honest, not much plans. After such a roll coaster year, I would love nice, normal, boring year.

    Just few small things that I do want to do:

    Get A license and motorbike.
    Get my first tattoo.
    Go on sun holiday, as I haven't been on one for the last 5 years.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 651 ✭✭✭AboutaWeekAgo


    Quit smoking & drinking and loose the beer belly I've had for the past few years. Meeting a nice girl who lets me play with her bits would be nice as well :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    Any hole.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,264 ✭✭✭Elessar


    -Have at least 20k saved by year end (small I know, but I do have to pay for college and my salary isnt that great!)
    -Have a few more dates with attractive women (I'm looking at you, Plenty of Fish)
    -Concentrate on college work more
    -Get a job in development (this is a pipe dream when you've no dev experience!)
    -Get back to the gym during the summer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    Buy a new car.

    Save more.

    Find a place to rent with the boyfriend (impossible in Dublin with our budget at the mo).

    Keep going towards my goal weight (was almost there before Xmas, not sure now).

    Learn to fly a plane. Even once for 5 minutes will be grand.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭The Peanut


    - Ramp up my campaign of negative publicity agains Idris Elba to ensure my path to being the next James Bond is clearer.
    - Try and attain my ideal weight; surely growing an additional 4 inches in my forties is achievable.
    - Learn a new language; bogger west Cork isn't quite the addition to my CV I had hoped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 937 ✭✭✭newbee22


    • start saving money
    • stick to a budget
    • lose 10lbs -14lbs to get to my ideal weight
    • keep up my fitness level i reached this year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    To see the other end of 2015, that's about it! Was never one for setting myself goals!

    Take up running again and do a few 5k races.

    Eat healthily

    Lose weight, which I'm hoping will be the result of the first two!

    Read more and spend less time on the Internet and Facebook - this is going to be hard

    Move out of home

    Keep saving for my own place and keep looking for my own place.

    I think that's enough!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain


    Less drinking, if I can achieve that then I think other facets of my life will automatically improve.

    Doesn't help that in both my social and work circles there's a heavy drink culture. It's up to me though to learn how to say 'no'. -_-


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,086 ✭✭✭TheBeardedLady


    Realistic ones:

    Finish this certificate and start a masters.

    Move from Spain to England.

    Save money.

    Move more.

    Cut out the glass of wine in the evenings.

    Feel guilty less.

    Apparently I'm like someone from France, with a 57% lower BMI than women of a similar age in Ireland... 52% lower than women of a similar age in the world... and still I know I could do with losing a few pounds.

    I mean in total! After expenses like college/insurance and all the rest are taken out I'll probably only save 6-7k next year...20k I wish :pac:

    Probably a silly question, but where's the calculator in that link?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I am feeling so bloated and perma-hung over and unfit after the christmas that I think I will go on a health binge for January. Good food, some exercise and no booze for a month should see me right for 2015.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    Practise mindfulness more often

    Not be so hard on myself

    Withdraw from one of the medications I'm on which has caused me to gain 3 stone in 18 months!

    Hopefully lose that 3 stone but slowly this time (last year I went feet first into an extremely intense diet and workout regime and caused my mental health to suffer again)

    Take everything slowly and not rush or get too intense with stuff as that can make me unwell

    Treat myself more

    Get a different car

    Do up our house more, flooring etc

    Love all my friends and family as much as I do now

    Not take things too seriously or to heart

    Get more fresh air

    Get my chihuahu microchipped

    New TV for kitchen

    Plant some beautiful flowers


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Save loads of money

    Get great at my job

    Get faster

    Run at least one and hopefully two marathons

    Lose a stone


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭Bartyman

    Basically donating the price of a fiver a week. One less pint is only a good thing.

    Have I got this right?

    You're donating the price of a fiver and giving away a pint every week :eek:.

    I'm on for that. If you just hold off on all the pints until this day next year and put the fivers in an envelope I'll pop down to Castletown to meet the man, drink and collect!

    Cheers :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 621 ✭✭✭dave3004


    2015. One goal: be a happier person.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    More exercise
    Cook more healthy recipes
    Lose weight
    Get out and about with my camera
    Continue to spend as much time as I can with my kid
