What should i accomplish

Here are a couple of my favorites. This may not sound like the sexiest of topics. But working on your organizational skills now will pay off later since it will reduce stress and save you a whole bunch of time and money. And, for many of us, that mistake is smoking.

It does mean that you should enjoy the finer things every now and then, such as eating at an exclusive restaurant or purchasing a luxury item like a Gucci bag. It will help you to save and budget for the purchase, and the experience or product will last for years. Don't be that person that always has to have the best and spend away your "real money" for the future, but do make a splurge at least once. It will also motivate you in the future and push yourself for better.

Yes, you read that correctly. And fail a lot. Fail fast and learn to pick yourself up fast as well. I've failed countless times but it's made me a much better person. Much easier to fail before 30 than after. Building a network can be beneficial in both your personal and professional lives. For example, maybe you had drinks with a couple from Britain while they were visiting the U. Now you have a contact overseas. If you attend an industry event, you should be able to interact with influencers or employers and make an impression with them.

Networking rounds out your life. Believe it or not, singing changes your brain. In fact, singing can make you happy and reduce depression or feeling lonely. Sing so much that someone tells you to shut-up and you won't be fearful again. Sing -- even if you are really lousy at it. If you are truly too shy to do this -- the shower is also a good option and so it belting out a tune in the car.

This may sound frightening. It will also give you valuable thinking time. I speak two languages and am learning another. If I can do it, you certainly can. You should, at least become somewhat acquainted with a foreign language. After all, this helps you learn about new cultures, exposes you to new people and helps you become more open-minded.

The older you get, however, the more challenging but not impossible this will become. Besides, you may even learn how to budget as you set aside money for the rental. I personally like to do this at least once a year.

Eventually you have to abandon some of these types of opportunities once you have responsibilities like a family. And the sooner that saving becomes a habit , the better. Putting away a little bit of money is better than putting away no money. Every dollar you can put away makes a difference. By saving money, you are helping your future self find financial freedom. We all have strengths and our strengths are where we really shine! I believe that we should acknowledge our weaknesses and figure out how to not let them detract from what we are truly great at.

There are several different assessments you can take to identify your strengths. So if they are not obvious to you, take assessments! Or ask people close to you what they think your strengths are. Chances are they will be able to identify them even more easily than you can.

And the reason I did? Or I was afraid to let someone down. The truth of the matter is that hard conversations are just part of life. We have to have them, often on a regular basis. The sooner we learn how to work our way through these tough conversations with others, the sooner we will all be able to move on. Is it something that is going to greatly impact my future? Will it impede on financial freedom for me?

Is it going to prevent me from reaching my other goals? Thinking with the end in mind means you are focusing on how your actions right now impact your future. We should be spending our time where we want and need to. Social media is fun but a lot of times it is only a distraction.

Not straight out the gate, but keep in mind that if you are miserable at your job everyday, there is probably a better place you could be valued and appreciate your own presence there. For example, if you're afraid of heights, then go bungee jumping or skydiving. It definitely will be terrifying, but it will be worth that short time of terror when you overcome that fear. Playing an instrument isn't just a cool talent, it actually taps into underused regions of your brain, as well as makes you happy.

Best of all? Your instrument choice could be something as simple as a tambourine or harmonica. As you get older, learning a new language becomes more challenging.

Why does that matter? Because learning a second language exposes you to new cultures, makes you more open-minded, and gives your brain a boost by enhancing your memory and attention span. Even if you don't become fluent, as least familiarizing yourself with a new language can still give you these benefits.

Yes, I speak a second language fluently and am learning a third. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but with more responsibilities comes more stress. Chronically living with stress has serious physical, mental, and emotional consequences. Find ways to start handling stress now, such as meditation or exercise, if you want to enjoy a long and healthy life. Not only is cooking for yourself--and your friends and family, when you host a party--rewarding, it also ensures that you're eating healthy meals for the rest of your life.

And it's enjoyable. I actually use cooking as a stress reliever. Learning about your family's history gives you the chance to connect with elder family members, as well as to learn about a new culture. You may even decide to visit the country where your relatives originated. When you're in charge of leading a task at work as well as making sure that the kids are off to school on time, proper time management becomes a necessity. Before you have those responsibilities, work on your time management so that you aren't scrambling all over the place.

There is no shortage of side business opportunities--whether it's becoming an Uber driver on the weekends or launching an e-commerce store. Having a side business gives you another source of income that can help you pay off your debts or increase your retirement savings. And that side business may even become your new career if it takes off. This is how I started the digital wallet company that became my full-time job.

You're no longer attending frat parties. Instead, you'll be going to networking events or dinner parties where wine and more expensive liquors will be served. You don't have to become an expert, but you should become a little familiar with these "classier" items so that you aren't intimidated when they're around--by learning basic wine and food pairings, for example.

Also, make sure that you know how to properly dress for certain occasions. Have at least one nice outfit that will make a great first impression when you have a job interview or when attending a formal event.

Instead of taking criticism or feedback to heart, use that information to help you grow personally or professionally. At the same time, you should also learn how to give feedback to others without being too harsh. Instead of making people cringe when you begin talking, speak to others with respect and in professional language. This, in turn, will make it possible for others to ask you when they need clarification, advice, or recommendations.

Whether it's attending the World Series or a major music festival like Lollapalooza, enjoy these events while you have the extra money, and energy, to do so. Whether it's learning or enhancing skills, reading daily, exercising, or eating a well-balanced diet, start investing in yourself so that you can become a stronger and more well-rounded individual, both personally and professionally. This also includes going to events and taking classes that will teach you new skills.

Always be investing in yourself. You only have so much time in a day.
