Wow! What an ambitious Action Plan and I’m proud of you for making it!

V1. Studying all this stuff in order to find a higher paying job is pretty great. 3 hours a day seems pretty good, what can you do to insure that you can have time to study?

V2. This one makes me smile. Studying DBT is very important, so you can learn coping skills. This will give you a better quality of life. I think giving yourself plenty of time for this is important, so your goal of Jan 2026 is very reasonable. I hope that you will reach out here for help when you need it.

V3. Taking care of your Diabetes by loosing some weight is pretty great! It sounds like you have a great plan set out for this.

V4. Impulse shopping is so hard to overcome. It sounds like you have a good plan and I hope that you can stick to it. Impulsiveness is really hard to deal with alone, so I hope you can find some help there. Dr Fox has some great videos that you might want to check out.

Remember that the community wants help support you with your plans. I hope that you will come back and let us know your progress or ask for support. You matter!

This looks amazing!

Just keep in mind that this can be a lot (e.g., three hours a day practicing code is seriously impressive, especially while juggling these other goals). It could be a good idea to work in “cheat days” (so you can skip a specific number of days if you’re too busy – but make sure to define how many cheat days you get per time period so every day doesn’t become a cheat day [e.g., one per week]).

Thank you again for being here for for sharing these goals. I love them and hope you keep us updated on your progress!

Hey @solidfix,

Giant for sharing several action plans that are planned for such a significant time. It’s brilliant, well-thought, and so very inspiring to see that you are willing to invest your energy and focus into such significant life changes. Well done also for not trying to tackle it all the same way or with short-term expectations. Time is key, and you can be sure that you have a community of supporters here willing to encourage you through it all.

If I may ask, how is it going for you? Is there one of these plans that you would like to initiate at first (or are already working on)? Or are you trying to integrate all of these as combined habits in your daily life? Would be a pleasure to hear from you, how it’s been so far and how you’re engaging yourself into these.

Super excited for you and definitely rooting for you as well!
