It has been two years since I wrote my first real life goals list. When I came across the “101 goals” lists, I knew I wanted to do it because it was just big enough to give the encouragement I needed to accomplish the big goals over the next three years (I don’t do it unless it’s in a list!), but not too big that if I didn’t complete something I’d feel like a failure. What I didn’t expect was that some of my goals would change – there are definitely things I would swap out now, but I have almost a year to go! The important thing is that I finally feel I’m making some real progress on my goals.
I don’t know why I even put paint a picture on there, I’ve done it so many times, but this time it was for my new apartment. But that’s what you get over two years: things change and evolve and what you thought was big then might be silly now, or what you didn’t know you wanted might emerge later on.
What are your big goals? Do you do lists like this?
That’s so exciting your doing so many big things on your list! I find lists really motivating too and have one going. One of my biggest goals is going vegan, which I’m working on!
That’s such a great idea! I think I might give it a try, lists are a good motivation for me, too. And it might help to visualize the things I really want on paper. Congratulations on the progress you’ve made on your list!
I make lists of all sorts and I have random places I put them, sometimes on pieces of scratch paper, sometimes in a notebook or journal… it’s funny because I feel like I should have all these lists in one place but it works for me for them to be scattered by importance I suppose.
I love your list and I love that you’ve crossed off so many things!
I have a bucket list in my mind of things I want to do in life, but there are always some things that come more closely than others. I love the idea of having a 3 year goals list though, I think I need to try something like this. 🙂
