'Sup everyone?!
I, Antti, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.
Finland, 26 years old
I've been following KYIL for some time now, on and off. It's been a source of inspiration (among many sources) and I appreciate especially the level of detail in the guides and articles. I recently achieved my main goal of 4 years of finishing the first 4 years of medical school - 2 more years to go. The reason why finishing the first 4 years was a huge threshold is because now I can work as a ward physician which provides a lot of financial security and frees up attention to other things.
Recently started thinking about improving my physique, sex life and hobbies as achievable and tangible goals and decided to join here. Done and accomplished a considerable amount of other shit that I'm proud of but here are the current specs:
Short term goals (0-3 months):
*Learn an instrumental OST song that I recently transcribed on the piano in July-August
*Learn any Rush song on bass that I find reasonably challenging before August 12th
*Get my first tattoo + return to having an earring in July 2024
*Finish and heavily interact with the ideas from You Can't Afford the Luxury of A Negative Thought
*After that: order The Slight Edge, read it and do the same
*Sort out schedules for the autumn semester
*Attend as many student parties in August and September as humanely possible to meet new girls and attempt to have sex with the girls in the scene that I already know are into me in order to increase current bodycount
*Update: Nikon D3000 DSLR --> Canon EOS R8 (frame ordered; batteries, tripod, lens adapter and f/1,8 EF II to go)
*Higher-order goal of improving photography skills and editing skills via Lightroom
*Lower-order goal of taking at least 8 high quality pictures of myself before end of August 2024
*Return to Tinder, use only excellent-quality pictures and use the app with intention
*Get feedback from current female friends of my Tinder profile
*Have sex with at least 3 girls from Tinder during autumn of 2024 (feels like a very reasonable goal)
*Visit 2 different (new) countries in Europe: travel to at least one of those alone
Mid term goals (3 months - 2 years):
*Hit +55(-60) ml/kg/min VO2max before May 2025
*Complete a 3,1 km run in sub 12 minutes (currently 2650m at 12 minutes)
*Bench 12 x 85kg
*Finish 5th year of Medical School
*Complete my year long military service in a mainly Swedish-speaking environment
*Higher-order goal is learning enough Swedish to be able to converse with it
*Attend courses in my secondary (engineering) degree as much as reasonably possible alongside med school
*Bail out of the engineering program if it turns out to feel like shit that I don't want to do
Long-term goals (+2 years):
*Graduate Medical School
*Pay off student debt completely (≈40k€) in sub 10 months after graduation
*Higher-order goal of being completely financially independent with no debt
*Figure out what I want to do with my second uni-degree
*Figure out life plans after graduation: girlfriend, travelling, marriage, family, my own house, artistic pursuits etc...
*Figure out what kind of a medical career I want to build: specialization, entrepreneurship, work hours etc...
