These are awesome goals to have!

thank you! I hope to grow through them and feel like I have reclaimed more of myself this year.

Whoah, this is “simpler”? This is a lot! Just mathematically, broken down into 12 months, that is a lot of requirements packed into each month, to reach your numbers.

Very likely you work better under this structure than with spontaneity. I hope you reach a satisfying portion of these goals, and also that you find time for relaxation.

haha, well the specifics part is juat ideas for how to reach the main goal. so if for instance I get to the end of the year and I haven't gone to any concerts or art festivals but I have still witnessed and written about art, I will consider myself having achieved my goal. That's the main difference from before, when I just set specific numerical goals without organizing them into categories of main goals.

Sweet!

Your list both excites and overwhelms me but I love it! Those are some amazing goals. I like how you have a lot of goals about connecting more with people. Are you more of an extrovert or an introvert? I think it's so easy to get disconnected from reality nowadays. I make list all the time, but I suck and keeping up with them for extended periods of time. I'm always on the lookout for new ways to organize myself and be more consistent. Do you keep up with your lists pretty well?

[belenen]

thank you!

I consider myself equal parts introvert and extrovert, as I have a strong need for alone time but I also need one-on-one time, small group time, and large group time to feel fully nourished.

I do not tend to keep up with my lists very well but the daylio app is helping me a lot with that! I have little symbols for different goals and I set the app to remind me to choose my accomplishments twice a day, so I stay much more aware of what my goals are which helps me to actually do them.

That app sounds so cool! If I had a decent phone that could download ANYTHING (I"ve got an 8GB government freebie phone...it can't even update the factory apps without running out of space...it's useless as a smartphone) I would download that in a heartbeat!

Best of luck with all of these :) :)

You are an admirable and ambitious person and one to model one's own self after.
