What Do You Want to Achieve in 2021?

Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!

I think enough has been said about how life-changing 2020 was, because of how it forced us to take a break from routine, and allowed us to step out of our comfort zones.

Change is a good catalyst for growth, and gives us new perspectives on what is really important in life.

Before diving into 2021, let just do a brief review of 2020.

Review of 2020

• Markets were a wild ride, but provided great opportunities to ride strong trends, such as Tesla, Bitcoin, etc. This gave us one of the best years of returns.
  • Check out our trading guides
  • Follow our Telegram channel for daily market updates 
• Exercised 3-4 times a week, including tennis, gym, swimming, running, yoga.
• Used to have a bad habit of sleeping late, finally managed to keep to a timing of 12-8am, giving me 8 hours of sleep a day.
• Became a certified sports massage therapist, after 7 weeks of training (70+ hours) and a final practical exam.
• Started meditating 15-3o mins a day.
• Stopped eating hawker food and started eating healthier, including more fruits and vegetables with every meal.
• Managed to bulk up from 55kg to 60kg.
• Read up a lot and worked on relationships.
• Since I could not travel overseas, I explored a lot of new places within Singapore:
  • Compiled a list of all the attractions in Singapore
  • Follow me on Instagram!
• Spent a decent amount of time with close friends and family, meeting everyone at least once a week.
• Watched 110 movies and TV series – that’s way too many lol
• Only read about 40 books

Plans for 2021

• Planning to create a lot more useful articles and videos for this blog.
• Planning to continue meditating daily, and increase to 45 minutes a day.
  • If possible, go on a meditation retreat.
  • Incorporate mindfulness as part of daily life.
• Continue sleeping from 12-8am daily, with 8 hours of sleep.
• Continue exercising 3-4 times a week, including tennis, gym, swimming, running, yoga.
  • Work on increasing flexibility and strengthening core muscles to reduce injuries.
• Continue bulking, next goal is to go from 60kg to 65kg.
• Continue to eat healthy, cut down on sugar, salt, processed foods.
• Continue to work on relationships.
• Learn how to drive (again). I have a license, but I have not driven for more than 10 years.
• Learn how to cook and bake.
• Read more books and watch less TV.
• Travel more, if possible.
• Try some new things that are out of your comfort zone.

As I reach the big 35 this year, I hope I do not have a midlife crisis, but instead get some wisdom and clarity about what is important in life.
