Small but achievable goals before 2025 ends!

Weekly Topic: Just 2 months left this year! Small but achievable goals before December ends

Nadine

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been on the Tutor Column of Cafetalk. This week's topic is about goals that are achievable for the remaining of the year. Here are some ideas:

?? Personal Growth

  • Read one book you’ve been meaning to finish.

  • Write in a journal 2–3 times a week.

  • Spend 10 minutes a day doing mindfulness or quiet reflection.

  • Learn one new skill or hobby (even something small like basic photography or cooking a new dish).

  • Declutter one area of your home each week.


?? Health & Wellness

  • Go for a walk 4–5 times a week, even just 15–20 minutes.

  • Drink an extra glass of water daily.

  • Cut one unhealthy snack or habit (like late-night scrolling).

  • Try one new physical activity — yoga, stretching, or home workouts.

  • Aim to get 7+ hours of sleep most nights.


?? Career or Productivity

  • Update your résumé or LinkedIn profile.

  • Clean up your email inbox and desktop.

  • Set up or refine a daily to-do list or planner routine.

  • Finish one lingering project you’ve been putting off.

  • Reflect on what worked and didn’t work for you professionally this year.


?? Finance

  • Save a set small amount each week (even $10–20).

  • Review and cancel one unused subscription.

  • Track all your spending for a week to get clarity.

  • Create a simple budget for December or the new year.


?? Relationships & Community

  • Reach out to a friend you haven’t talked to in a while.

  • Plan one intentional hangout or family dinner each week.

  • Write thank-you notes or messages to people who supported you this year.

  • Do one small act of kindness each week.


✨ End-of-Year Reflection

  • Write a short list of your wins and lessons from 2025.

  • Make a “2026 intentions” note — just 3 things you’d like to focus on.

  • Back up your photos and clean up your phone gallery.
