I\u2019m doing my annual self-evaluation for work today and it got me thinking about doing an overall self-evaluation.<\/p>\n
So, here it is. My self-evaluation for life.<\/p>\n
Over the past year, I have continued to grow and learn as a human being while consistently delivering and executing on the tasks \u2013 both large and small \u2013 that have been assigned to me. I have been the go-to guy when it comes to cleaning the cats\u2019 litter box and successfully taken out the garbage week after week, sometimes even in the rain.<\/p>\n
My biggest achievement this past year was, together with my wife, purchasing a house in October. True \u2013 we had first undertaken this difficult task in the beginning of last year, but our final selection was a choice that to make both financial and emotional sense. While I admit that we suffered a setback with the short sale earlier in the year, we could not be happier with the end result.<\/p>\n
Likewise, in these harder financial times and especially with the added pressure of a mortgage, I have had to keep a firm eye on our bottom line. As acting CFO of this household, I can confidently say that even with our property purchase, we still managed to make a small profit. Our targets for next year may not be as aggressive, but I feel confident that we will continue to meet and even exceed our expectations in the years to come.<\/p>\n
There is, as always, room for improvement. I need to be a better listener, in two ways. Sometimes, I can be so focused on certain tasks or activities that I tune other people out or only half-hear what they are saying. I instead need to learn to actively multi-task or turn my undivided attention away from my current task (which can usually wait) and to the person speaking. In addition, I need to actually act on certain requirements that would make our household cleaner and better overall.<\/p>\n
Not tossing clothing on the floor, helping to clean up food and dishes, and clearly stating when I will be playing video games are all things that I intend to improve in the upcoming year. Despite these small flaws, I believe that I continue to be a valuable asset and would love the time and patience to emerge as a future leader of this household.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
