1 Year Update...
This was actually due 2 days ago, but because I have spent the last week in a bit of a daze about just how fast the last year seems to have passed, I hadn't got around to writing anything!
I mentioned this to my friend silver_fish who was the one who got me into this, and on whose living room floor i was sat a year ago writing out the first 50 or so goals I decided on. We both agreed that it seems like yesterday when we started out on this project and can't believe how the time has flown!
My progress now stands at:
Complete: 28
In Progress: 26
I read that to complete all tasks within the time, you need to average about one every ten days, so I guess by that view I am a little off target. However, I'm not too concerned as I have plenty of tasks in progress, including some that have durations of a year or more. Also, I'm seeing more and more that this project isn't just about ticket items off a list or even achieving everything you set out to at the beginning. Its about the experience of doing it and what you gain along the way.
I've rediscovered how much I love to read and read books I'd normally never have picked up, I've got back on the horse (literally) and am beginning to surpass the level of skill I achieved during my riding lessons while i was younger, i have been to places i'd put off visiting for years, I've reassessed some career and life priorities. All in all I'm really happy with what i've achieved even if I am behin numerically! Plus I have more exciting things planned over the coming months. Yes, I think things are quite good overall :)
I hope you are all having as much fun as me!
