SMART MONEY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN 2021

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!

Hey guys, hope the month has been going well. I have been failing miserable on the updates front but other than that things have been going pretty well for my first week back.
Ive been easing my way back into the grind so far. I just finished reviewing my play over the last 10 days and I like what I see for the most part. I'm pretty happy with how I have been playing so far. The games have ben really good and I have also been drawing some decent seats on the whales. My game selection has also been great. I've been staying till the bitter end with all the whales and getting in some fun SH poker too. A few times I saw games breaking while whales still had money which had me scratching my head a few times. You hate to see it.
It cant all be great though. I have a few things I need to work on. The first and most obvious thing to me is my volume. I can definitely do better there. I need to focus more while playing and put in quality hours. The next issue I found was my SH game. It was fun playing SH but I need some work lol. Few spewy hands that I am not happy with.
On the non poker side of things well.... I need to pick it up there a lot lol. I've been pretty lazy and havent been working out. Ive done a total of 1 workouts and 1 run so far in March. COME ON MAN
. Been such a lazy sack so far. Atleast I am eating healthy and prepping all my meals....:smirk.
But yah thats all for now guys. Quick update. Kill it the rest of the month! GL.
