Real Charlotte: Personal goals for the new year

Real Charlotte is a weekly series highlighting everyday humans that live in Charlotte. The people are what make this place special. Through this series, we hope to show you the successes, struggles, goals and dreams of Charlotteans.

“Besides losing all of the weight from the Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays, I’d say some of my goals this year really revolve around me personally. I’d like to improve on my time management and organizational skills. I’d also like to take more time to be with my friends and the people I care about. Working 60 hours a week controls the majority of my schedule and leaves me with very little free time. My family and friends have been the primary ones who have suffered from it. In the new year I want to focus on staying in better touch, planning more trips and making the time to FaceTime them regularly.”
