Reflections and a wish list for the new year 2020: looking back at last year's unfinished goals, then setting goals for the year ahead such as blogging, reading, working out, and exercising with family. See the full post for details and examples.

All of a sudden, it’s already 2020. Looking back at the goals I set for 2019, it seems most of them are still unfinished, yet here we are in 2020.

2020 has two 20s in it. In Chinese tradition, good things come in pairs and people love even numbers; and since 20 is also a multiple of 10, it feels even more auspicious. Seeing such a lucky number as 2020, I wish myself a smooth and happy new year.

Today I opened my social feed and found a whole bunch of friends out running or working out. It seems that in this new year everyone is facing life more positively, hoping to have a stronger body.

So let me close with a wish list:

  1. May my son stay healthy and grow a little taller.
  2. Do a family workout with my son and wife once a week.
  3. Finish writing 50 blog posts this year.
  4. Read 12 books (4 on tech, 4 on the mind, 4 on parenting).
  5. Try to get a six-pack.
  6. Go to bed before midnight every day.
