(2) Asset Expansion = 2.13
(3) Family Harmony = 3.00 (🏆 Top)
(4) Social Activities = 2.50

(8) Eating Habits = 3.00 (🏆 Top)

1-1. Produce output with a focus on both quality and quantity ( 71 points : B )
→ I gave it a lower score because I feel that both the quality and quantity of my output have dropped compared to last year. Although I started launching a new blog, I couldn't get around to Instagram or YouTube, which I had considered as reinforcement measures. This leaves tasks for next year.

1-2. Always speak with slow, polite language and honorifics ( 78 points : B )
→ I think I was generally able to execute speaking with polite language and honorifics, but I failed to focus on speaking slowly. I gave myself a negative evaluation in the sense that my level of awareness was low.

1-3. Never stop thinking / Do not give up easily ( 87 points : A )
→ There were painful times but I feel I was able to keep thinking of new measures. However, I judged that I could not give myself an S rating because my grit—the ability to see things through to execution—was insufficient.

1-4. Read for 1 hour every day / Finish 5 books per month ( 62 points : C )
→ On average, the number of books finished per month remained at 2-3. The average reading time was also around 10 hours. I gave myself a low rating because I was unable to make reading a "habit."

1-5. Study for 1 hour per week to acquire new skills ( 82 points : A )
→ I was able to set aside about 2-3 hours a month to catch up on new information, such as utilizing AI tools, researching the latest SEO trends, and looking up useful spreadsheet functions. Next year, I want to secure at least 1 hour of study time per week to obtain the "Certified Travel Supervisor" qualification.

1-6. Rely on others / Keep exploring outsourcing ( 65 points : C )
→ Although I was exploring outsourcing, there were few parts that I actually outsourced, and in the end, I often ended up advancing both work and projects by myself.

1-7. Incorporate my sole proprietorship ( 0 points : D )
→ A year ago, I was thinking of creating a micro-corporation, but due to various circumstances, I gave up early in the new fiscal year. Since incorporation depends on timing, I'm starting to feel it's not really something to set as a goal.

1-8. Establish a sub-business corporation and start a new business ( 30 points : D )
→ I wasn't able to start this either. However, I did start working on a sub-business separate from my main business (crowdfunding support). In addition, I am currently in consultations for the establishment of a general incorporated association for next year. I gave myself 30 points in the sense that I have started moving.

2-1. Invest 1.2 million yen annually in the new NISA ( 61 points : C )
→ I will hide the specific numbers, but because the tax and social insurance premium burden was high this year, I could not practice the quarter-investment method. I did not achieve the 1.2 million yen annual goal.

2-2. Continue accumulating crypto assets until the 1000th day ( 100 points : C )
→ I post accumulation report articles on my sub-blog, and I successfully achieved "1000 days of daily accumulation"! (My accumulation results are summarized in this article) Currently, although I have stopped accumulating Ethereum, I am continuing daily Bitcoin accumulation, and the duration has extended to nearly 1150 days.

2-3. Make it a habit to keep a household account book every day ( 20 points : D )
→ I completely slacked off halfway through. I've become a bit loose, so this is a reflection point.

2-4. Do not skimp on self-investment ( 92 points : S )
→ I think I am trying to actively get involved in opportunities, focusing on things that could become my own experience. However, since there are parts that overlap with other items, I feel I need to clarify the definition of self-investment. This is a reflection for next year.

2-5. Check personal asset balance sheet (BS) on the 1st of every month (89 points: A)
→ Although I wasn't able to check it on the 1st of every single month, I was able to maintain the habit of checking it almost every month. Since the numbers on the BS were growing steadily, I sometimes felt lazy about keeping the household account book, so this is an area for improvement from next year onwards.

2-6. Invest in human relationships / Go to meet people regardless of distance (93 points: S)
→ Although the number of times I went out somewhere decreased, I think I was able to maintain the awareness of investing resources into human relationships. There are many people I was able to go out to eat with individually.

2-7. Keep an eye on overseas-oriented businesses and overseas investments (41 points: D)
→ I was barely able to be conscious of this. I did implement a workation-style stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand, but perhaps I am fundamentally not interested in it.

2-8. Do not fear loans / Being able to borrow is proof of trust (60 points: D)
→ It's not that I was afraid, but as a result, there were no opportunities to take out loans, so I'm giving myself a bare passing grade. I hope to be able to think of businesses that would require loans next year.

3-1. Go out at least once a month (88 points: A)
→ I wasn't able to go without fail every month, but there were relatively many opportunities to go out together. Good.

3-2. Respect each other's routines (97 points: S)
→ Nothing but respect. To put it negatively, the relationship of "not interfering" has become comfortable.

3-3. Take care of your own mood (91 points: S)
→ It's been almost 3 years since we got married. It's been 2 years since we moved to Akashi and started living together, and I feel like things have stabilized. I feel like the instances of being in a bad mood or anything like that have almost disappeared.

3-4. Don't forget physical affection (87 points: A)
→ I was able to maintain the awareness of having solid physical affection. Recently, due to circumstances, it has decreased a little, so I deducted some points, but I think it's a high score for myself.

3-5. Communicate dissatisfaction and anger constructively (88 points: A)
→ The opportunities to feel dissatisfaction or anger have decreased in the first place. Among those, I don't think I ever really lashed out with emotions. I didn't feel it was worth an S rating, so I gave it an A rating.

3-6. Take care of plants without letting them wither (70 points: B)
→ I intended to take good care of them, but I let a houseplant and a cactus wither. The houseplant had unfortunate patterns: "it suffered damage without me noticing root rot" and "it withered in one night due to a sudden drop in temperature." The cactus had a sad pattern: "it rotted from the top due to being given too much water with a spray bottle." Since both were cases of over-caring, I'm giving myself a slightly lenient score.

3-7. Consciously express gratitude and affection (63 points: C)
→ I intend to express it, but I wasn't able to be very conscious of it. I'm giving myself a low, barely passing grade as a form of self-admonition.

3-8. Eat dinner together as much as possible (90 points: S)
→ Except for when meetings were scheduled, I think we were able to eat dinner together almost every time. My wife's routine is easy to understand, so that helps.

4-1. Pick up trash on trash collection days every week ( 92 points : S )
→ I was able to pick up trash almost without fail on trash days (Mondays & Thursdays) when I was in Akashi. By making it a routine to take a photo after finishing and posting it to my Instagram story, I feel like I was able to turn it into a habit successfully.

4-2. Make ongoing donations to non-profit organizations ( 90 points : S )
→ For now, I was able to continue being a monthly supporter of "Rikuzentakata's Sakura Line 311". It would be good if I could increase the number of organizations I donate to a little more.

4-3. Participate proactively in volunteer work ( 0 points : D )
→ I didn't do this at all. I couldn't even bring myself to focus on it...

4-4. Respond to requests from acquaintances without dismissing them ( 85 points : A )
→ I had many requests from elementary, middle, and high school classmates, middle school classmates, and acquaintances from my university days, etc. It's just my own self-assessment, but assuming there were no oversights, I should have been able to respond to almost all of them with sincerity.

4-5. Actively cooperate in spreading the word about acquaintances' activities ( 62 points : C )
→ Honestly, I wasn't able to do much of this. I might have even neglected spreading the word about things related to myself.

4-6. Share acquired know-how generously ( 70 points : B )
→ I intend to share as much as I can, but if asked whether I worked on it proactively, it might have been subtle. So, 70 points.

4-7. Bring my own bag / Bring an eco-bottle ( 80 points : A )
→ I was generally able to bring my own bag. However, eco-bottles inevitably become heavy, so I ended up buying plastic bottles quite often.

4-8. Pay attention to insulation measures and energy-saving living ( 80 points : A )
→ I think I paid as much attention as I could to insulation measures in my own room. However, there are parts that I haven't been able to make double-paned, so it is insufficient. Balancing the effort and cost is difficult.

5-1. Show my face at community development events ( 91 points : S )
→ I think I was able to participate in person as much as possible, focusing on events in Tottori. After all, many people are happy when I participate. I want to make an effort to work on this next year as well.

5-2. Always invite someone to a one-on-one meal when I return home ( 96 points : S )
→ I executed this almost perfectly as well. I made sure to invite someone to a one-on-one meal whenever I had time. It's a great way to create an opportunity to reach out to people I haven't seen in a while.

5-3. Visit Tottori and Atami every other month ( 90 points : S )
→ I haven't counted strictly, but I think I was able to visit Tottori almost once a month and Atami about once every two months.

5-4. Attract investment to Tottori-based businesses (73 points: B)
→ I may have done some preliminary work to attract investment, but I didn't achieve much in terms of results. So, I'm giving it a B rating.

5-5. Spend money at wonderful independent shops (70 points: B)
→ I wasn't very conscious of this either. Since chain stores are so easy to visit, I want to be more mindful of this next year.

5-6. Get involved with Tottori companies through pro bono work or side jobs (76 points: B)
→ I'm not sure if it qualifies as pro bono, but I was able to get involved to some extent. However, I haven't been able to get involved directly through a side job (though I am exploring it), so I will continue to look for opportunities.

5-7. Read municipal newsletters and information magazines to grasp the current situation (73 points: B)
→ I read them almost every month for the first half of the year, but gradually stopped doing so. I want to make sure I read them, even if it's a few months' worth at a time.

5-8. Participate in festivals / If possible, from the preparation stage (10 points: D)
→ Although there were a few possibilities for me to get involved in festivals, I ended up finishing the summer without participating in any.

6-1. Practice smiling in front of the mirror once a day (80 points: A)
→ After brushing my teeth in the morning, I take a quick look in the mirror and smile. That routine has become a habit. However, I tend to forget when I'm not at home.

6-2. Keep a handwritten diary for 10 minutes in the morning (69 points: C)
→ I did it habitually for the first two months or so, but stopped halfway through. I barely did it at all in the second half. I'll use this as an opportunity to restart.

6-3. Take a 30-minute walk every day (70 points: B)
→ I couldn't do it every day. However, I feel that my "trash picking" habit also served as a walk, covering the 30 minutes.

6-4. Take care of skincare (92 points: S)
→ Skincare after bathing has become a habit. I only do the basics, but I want to keep my skin in good condition as I head toward my late 30s.

6-5. Be mindful of bringing souvenirs or gifts (84 points: A)
→ I was very conscious of this and practiced it in the first half of the year. My awareness has faded a bit over the last few months, so I lowered the score as a reflection.

6-6. Clean the room on Sunday nights (81 points: A)
→ I haven't been able to do it every week. But I was able to keep the thought "It's Sunday night, so I should clean" in the back of my mind, so I want to continue this next year and beyond.

6-7. Send messages on friends' birthdays (57 points: D)
→ Honestly, I hardly did it at all. Unfortunately, a failing grade.

6-8. Visit art galleries and museums (30 points: D)
→ This was also almost never achieved.

7-1. Do daily strength training to maintain a body that doesn't tire easily (45 points: D)
→ I only did squats occasionally. I couldn't do anything that could really be called strength training. I definitely want to do strength training next year, if only to maintain my physique.

7-2. Do 3 minutes of silent meditation daily (65 points: C)
→ I only did this occasionally when I remembered. I couldn't practice it every day.

7-3. Burn incense before going to bed (95 points: S)
→ Lately, I've been burning incense almost every night before stretching and going to sleep. Perfect!

7-4. Get out of bed and bathe in the morning sun by 8:00 AM (75 points: B)
→ Since the summer, there have been days when I worked until late at night and woke up late. I also tend to forget to bathe in the morning sun. There are days when I just start working as soon as I wake up.

7-5. Stretch before bed and upon waking up (80 points: A)
→ I didn't do it every day, but I managed to do it almost every night. The routine of burning incense and stretching before bed is perfect. When I wake up, I tend to slack off if I wake up late. Ultimately, it seems I could achieve this if I just wake up earlier.

7-6. Do not open the computer after 11:00 PM (72 points: B)
→ Since the summer, I've been staying up late more often. Although I have my room's LED lights set to turn off automatically at 11:00 PM, there are times when I resume working after that. I want to be more conscious of the habit of not opening my computer after 11:00 PM.

7-7. Secure one afternoon off per week (68 points: C)
→ I almost never achieved this. However, there were days when I would suddenly remember and think, 'I need to take the afternoon off!' and take a break. I want to get better at taking time off, too.

7-8. Take a completely off consecutive holiday in odd-numbered months for pure travel (67 points: C)
→ I wasn't able to create many holidays that could be called completely off. Only about as many times as I traveled with my wife during consecutive holidays. This remains a challenge for next year and beyond.

8-1. Do not eat breakfast / eat only a small amount if I do (93 points: S)
→ This was a habit I already had, so I cleared it without any issues!

8-2. Limit alcohol to 3 drinks per day even at social events (92 points: S)
→ I cleared this without any issues as well. I don't really have drinking parties to begin with, but I was able to be conscious of keeping it to 3 drinks on the rare occasions I do drink.

8-3. Do not buy snack foods or sweet breads (76 points: B)
→ I sometimes find myself reaching for sweet breads or snacks while traveling. I tend to rely on them, especially when traveling by Shinkansen. I want to be careful about this.

8-4. Create days to practice autophagy( 90 points : S )
→ This was also cleared without any issues. Although I haven't set a specific day, I manage to have an autophagy day about once a week.

8-5. Do not go to ramen shops alone( 86 points : A )
→ I have gone to a ramen shop alone a few times. I gave in to temptation. However, I have basically been able to keep this rule.

8-6. Chew food well / 20 chews per bite( 67 points : C )
→ I was conscious of this for the first three months or so, but I have completely forgotten about it recently. I want to be more mindful of this.

8-7. Drink 2L of water per day( 91 points : S )
→ I'm not sure if I drank exactly 2L, but since I drink about 2-3 servings daily using an 800ml drip kettle, I think I've cleared this.

8-8. Junk food limited to twice a month( 73 points : B )
→ There were months where I exceeded two times. I gave it a lower score to reflect that I need to be more self-reflective.
