Well, it's now two years since I wrote my list of things to accomplish. The original deadline was my 30th birthday, which gives me 18 months or so to achieve my remaining goals. I don't think this is likely, but I'm going to keep ticking things off anyway as I find it an immense amount of fun, and very satisfying! It probably doesn't help that the list has more than doubled in length since the original too, as I keep thinking of new things to do, adding them to the list, and then having to come up with more plans.
No problem: I love to plan and anticipate and look forward to things!
So far I have completed 50 goals on the list leaving me with 49 still to do. I achieved a huge goal this summer by spending 5 weeks in South America, a continent I've dreamed of visiting for years! And a few more on the list are in the works, planned and booked. I love using the start of a new academic year to review my ambitions and goals, and think about what I want to achieve and experience in the coming twelve months. It's going to be exciting!
