Below are my personal S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-sensitive) Goals for 2023, which I learned about from my good buddy Chandler Goodman. There is no way that my blog posts or recaps will ever be as entertaining as Chandler's recaps because he is a true wordsmith. I tried to do this the last two years but fell off the wagon early each year, which meant that I didn't follow through on any of my non-golf related S.M.A.R.T. goals so that is why I am posting them in public for accountability and motivation for 2023:
- 325 days of filling out my WHOOP journal
- 300 days of taking a multivitamin
- 250 days of doing two separate 4-7-8 breathing sessions
- 200 full keto days
- 175 green WHOOP recoveries
- 100 Peloton workouts, at least eight per month
- Make 50 birdies on the golf course
- 35 Mondays through Thursdays of not drinking any alcohol
