Hello 2+2 and welcome to my new PGC thread!
I decided to make a thread this year to hold myself accountable for the remainder of 2021. Being consistent is something I struggle with in my life and I am hoping that in some way or another this thread will help me get better at consistently reviewing my play after each session and slowly become a better player as a result of it.
2020 was by far the hardest year of my life. Tragedy struck my family near the end of the year and in a weird way it made me snap out of the slump I had been in. I had to get it together for the people around me. They needed me more than ever. I am in a much better place now and have a lot of great people in my life to thank for it. My life is definitely trending in an upward direction since and its all through the hard work I've been putting in.
While everything was going on with my family last year I decided to step away from poker. I was not in a good head space to be playing and had to take care of some people. It was very stressful. I really missed the game and the structure it brought to my life. Some people is the complete opposite I know but for me poker really makes my life structed. I decided to start playing again on Mar 1, 2021 and it feels good to be back!
Another thing that we all have been going through in life is dealing with COVID. I have been lucky throughout all of this because I have been working the entire time. It did however bring to light how shitty my financial situation is and things need to change. With covid shedding some light on my financial situation I realized things have to change now!. I created a budget for myself this year and have ben doing my best to stick to it. I also started studying investing like many at the start of 2021. As many of you know its been a very interesting year when it comes to investing and I have done alright for myself. (knock on wood). I am no where near where I want to be but one day at a time.
Lets get to some goals for both on and off the poker tables for the rest of 2021
1. Turn $1000 deposit on Bodog into $5000 by the end of the year.
2. Update PGC thread after every session.
3. 10%+ return on all my investments in 2021.
4. Pay off the majority of my debt
5. Save $5000.00 minimum.
6. Try to run 100km+ every month and 20+ workouts each month.
7. Do Yoga more consistently.
8. Work 12+ hours extra at work each week if possible.
All of these goals are very doable for myself this year. It will take a lot of discipline but I am ready for it. After 2020 I feel like there is not many things life can throw my way that I cant handle. Last year definitely made me stronger but I am ready to take everything up a notch.
Lets get it!
