Year 2016 Results

This year I am not  evaluating my goals  and calculating overall score.
I planned to do it differently from this year on as I find this exercise is practically not adding to motivating myself to perform well towards achieving my goals.

I planned to trim down my goals to 6 main goals and just work towards them. At the end of the year
I would revisit the list objectively and assess how far I have come in accomplishing them.

I would remember the year 2016 largely  for settling down in Sydney with regard to job and life style.
I found a good job that would pay me well so that I can focus on other things.
Also this year my brother got married and which is huge thing for the family.
Last but not least this year would be remembered for Aadhya, as she grew from months baby into a year old baby.
