This month I need action and adventure mainly in my work life. It has been disappointingly boring and samey these past few months and that is getting me down. I also need to work on my fitness and my Thai language which I feel did not much progress last month.

• work harder and longer hours
• complete the data analysis
• complete the new report revisions
• get up to date with everything
• stick to my fitness plan
• study and practice Thai every day

• find new and interesting things to do at work
• get out of the office more!
• learn more new things

So far I have:

• completed the data analysis
• got involved in a new project at work
• started Thai lessons again after a few weeks off
• started week 1 of fitness plan and am aching because of it :)

• will be going on a 3 day trip next week
