My goals/objectives for 2016

I'll be using this thread to keep track of my goals and add weekly updates, along with a monthly review of all my original goals. You are welcome to post if you'd like to. I also hope that doing a thread like this with constant updates will keep me more motivated to actually do it.

The objectives aren't purely game/lifestyle, there are some education and lifting based things in there too.

So, in no particular order:

• Smash a virgin- This is here for obvious reasons, it's something I'd like to try. I already have a chick lined up for this, so this may be the first goal accomplished.
• Track expenses/income- Review my bank account set up and split in to savings/current account. For tracking expenses and income, use a good old-fashioned hardback log book.
• Read 1 book per month- I used to be a big reader, but that's dropped off with more work/studying. The books can be fiction/non-fiction and should be 400-700 pages long.
• Do 17 hours of studying per week- I want to absolutely smash my exams, so I will do 17 hours of additional studying a week, obviously increasing closer to exams.
• Carry on improving my French- I already speak decent French, however I'd like to keep improving to a very good standard.
• Travel to France solo- This ties in to the above point. This trip would be mainly for language purposes so I won't actively be chasing pussy, but if it comes my way I won't hold back. This will probably be in July or August.
• Starting in Mid-June, start Arabic- I did a tiny bit of Arabic last year but it got brushed under the carpet quickly as I was busy with other things (poor excuse I know). So after exams I will restart the book/CD program that I used before (Egyptian Arabic dialect.
• Keep at <13BF% and lean bulk- I don't mind slow progress, so I'm just switching between a 4 day P/P/L (doing 2 of 1 split per week in rotation) and a 4 day bro split. I don't have any quantitative goals for lifting, but I know how I want to look. Simply put, I want to add size everywhere whilst keeping abs, and specifically add more mass to delts, back and lower chest.
• Do corrective exercises for shoulder blade- My shoulder blades (mainly the right one) slightly ache sometimes and protrude a little more than I'd like them to, so I'll do some corrective exercises. I will also do exercises for any other body parts that are in any way wrong.
• Invest in to some index funds- Just dipping my toe in the water here, but it' a good opportunity to learn more about the financial markets and to make a small bit of extra cash.
• Socialising- As well as keeping up with friends, just speak to everyone. Men, women, children, I will just try and interact more with other people.
• No Fap- this will be quite hard (lol), but that acts as motivation to get more pussy. My aim is to not fap at all, unless I am getting consistent wet dreams in which case I'll limit myself to a wank every 2 months.

Why are you switching between PPL/bro split? Any other guidelines for your "lean bulk?" I'm about to start the same and will be pretty much be eating more carbs and training for strength.

Good luck and be sure to post in the NoFap thread.

UPDATE:

• Smash a virgin- Getting pretty close to this one. Just need to arrange a time and date and we're good
• Track expenses/income- Haven't got round to doing this yet. Will look in to what I need to get tomorrow, then buy it at the weekend and organise my accounts over the next fortnight.
• Read 1 book per month- This may have to be upped to 2 books a month, as I've already read 1 book, 'The Yard' by Alex Grecian. Any suggestions would be welcome.
• Do 17 hours of studying per week- I am on track for this at the moment. Having a plan definitely helps to keep me motivated.
• Carry on improving my French- Just learning more vocab and grammar.
• Travel to France solo- N/A
• Starting in Mid-June, start Arabic- N/A
• Keep at <13BF% and lean bulk- Done 4 good workouts, feeling good at the moment.
• Do corrective exercises for shoulder blade- Haven't started this yet, I will look in to it at the weekend.
• Invest in to some index funds- Again not done yet, so look in to it at the weekend.
• Socialising- I think that I made a conscious effort to go out of my way to have conversations with people.
• No Fap- Staying strong so far

Because I get bored too quickly. However I'll probably split to a bro split for at least the next month.

UPDATE:

• Smash a virgin- Set up a date for next month (doesn't live very close)
• Track expenses/income- Managed to sort my money in to 2 different accounts (savings/current), and keep so money free too.
• Read 1 book per month- Haven't got round to a second one yet, however doing this has just reminded me to. Not sure what I'll be reading yet though.
• Do 17 hours of studying per week- Done pretty well at this, except for monday and friday, where I did slightly less than planned.
• Carry on improving my French- Just learning more vocab and grammar.
• Travel to France solo- N/A
• Starting in Mid-June, start Arabic- N/A
• Keep at <13BF% and lean bulk- Dropped to 3 workouts this week, but still pleased. Went to see the doctor for a blood pressure test and he made a compliment implying that my arms were very lean and muscly (no homo).
• Do corrective exercises for shoulder blade- Starting this tonight.
• Invest in to some index funds- I think this will have to be put on hold for a while, the stock market has been falling a lot recently and isn't showing many signs of a recovery.
• Socialising- This has been hard this week as I've been very busy.
• No Fap- Staying strong so far In week 3 now, had a few urges.

UPDATE:

• Smash a virgin- She's gone no contact, damn it. Obviously therefore I'm also ignoring her, I'll start looking for another chick.
• Track expenses/income- No update yet, but managed to make a nice little but of side money this week.
• Read 1 book per month- Going to try and read 1 book this week so that I will have done 2 overall this month.
• Do 17 hours of studying per week- I did a lot during the week due to a few tests, which I've done really well in. I'm allowing myself a few very relaxed study days as a reward, but will start the grind again on Monday.
• Carry on improving my French- Just learning more vocab and grammar.
• Travel to France solo- N/A
• Starting in Mid-June, start Arabic- N/A
• Keep at <13BF% and lean bulk- Only done 1 workout this week, mainly due to extra studying I've had to do.
• Do corrective exercises for shoulder blade- N/A
• Invest in to some index funds- Still on hold due to market volatility.
• Socialising- Have had quite a few interesting chats with some really knowledgeable older men. Also just improving my general chat and flirting.
• No Fap- I've run in to the issue of wet dreams as a cause of abstinence from masturbation, so I'm looking at either doing a 3 week or 2 week no fap cycle, to keep me aggressive and hungry, yet not with the consequence of wet dreams.
