Remember my 30 by 30 list? No? Well, I’ll fill you in. Last year I made a list of thirty things I wanted to do before I turned the big 3-0. It was a bucket list of sorts. Nothing crazy or extravagant, just a list of things that I never would have gotten around to if they weren’t on a list.
Well, I have been thirty for three weeks now. Although I didn’t manage to mark everything off of my list, I still enjoyed the process.I enjoyed it so much that I want to do it again. This time its 31 to-dos before I turn 31.
Want to see my list? (I may change it within the next few weeks, so this is a draft of my list.) Without further ado…

What a list!
I’m curious, do you set birthday goals, or are you a New Year’s goal setter? The holidays are so busy that I feel like a failure trying to set goals at the beginning of the calendar year. I love setting new goals in September (back to school time), but have really liked the birthday deadline also.
Have a wonderful weekend! I’ll be back Monday (if all goes as planned).
First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your relative.
ReplyDeleteI guess I am a New year's goal setter, but I wasn't neither until a couple of years ago, and still, I don't take it much seriously. I write them down and by the end of the year, I'll check which I can cross out. Really liked your list!
Thank you!
DeleteI love the satisfaction of crossing things off my to-do list. (Maybe the only reason I make the lists in the first place.) ;)
