I didn’t think I would post my new year’s resolution. But after reading Mark Manson’s 2020 favorite books, James Clear’s annual review, Ryan Holiday’s 2021 new habits, and OkoD’s 2021 resolutions, and his previous year’s reviews, I couldn’t help myself not writing goal-setting stuff.

What kind of person do you think is a writer?
Not nerdy glasses anymore!

Modern writers like James Clear, the sexy dude, Mark Manson, a shitty talker, and Youtuber, Ryan Holiday, whom I see as born to write-writer for some reason.

That’s why I want to be a writer who exercises like a modern warrior, who is fit as hell, who is true to my point of view, down to earth, intelligent, well-mannered, good-looking, and always eager to help others towards meaningful and valuable contents.

Let’s be honest: 2020 has been a tough year. However, the dawning of 2021 is a chance to start afresh and bring positive change with creative, innovative approaches to an uncertain future.

Document. Document. Document.

Document Everything. I'd like to sort my 2021 resolutions out as several projects.

By the end of 2021, my life will look like this.

I. Personal Projects (Routines, learning, systems, etc.)

1. Career and Business: Fundamentals

  1. Start working as an international project manager in an international company. (at least 6 months experience by the end of the year)
  2. Turn my abilities into products.
