I have noticed that I haven’t written down any resolutions for the past two years, even though I am not someone who strictly follows what I note down. My goals take shape as time passes and external factors come into play. However, writing them down helps me track my progress and gives me a sense of direction.

Check out my list below!

And I kid you not – it is a lot harder than it looks. I mean, designing, writing, scheduling, researching to curate your own content, studying freelancing cour ..read more
