With the start of a new decade, it's important to enter it with a positive mindset. I've decided to further work on my resolutions from 2019. But instead of calling them "resolutions," I think "maintenance" is a better word to describe these goals because they are all things that I should be doing on a day-to-day basis in order to improve myself as a person. Without further ado, here is my 2020 New Year's Maintenance List.
1. HEALTH
- Do your basic skincare routine twice a day
- Basic but essential reminders to do even when you're tired and just want to sleep: shower every morning, brush and floss twice a day
- At least 1 face mask/eye patch a week
- Sunscreen!!
- Sleep!! + Proper sleep schedule
- Goal weight: 108 lbs
- Reach before 21st birthday
- Maintain goal weight
- Exercise at least one day a week
- Only eat when you're hungry
- Don't eat past 8 pm
- Drink 64 oz of water a day
2. ACADEMICS
- Try to figure out major/minors
- Maintain good grades/stay on top of deadlines so that there isn't a scramble at the end
- Prevent burn out toward the middle-end of semesters
- Be on time to your first class every day
- Be communicative with professors and TAs
3. MONEY
- Maintain monthly budget sheet for all expenses
- Stay under $300/month
4. HAPPINESS

Let's motivate each other and make 2020 the best year yet.
