I've decided to skip the regular tradition of making resolutions for the new year. Instead, I made a list of things that I've been putting off for years but I really want to accomplish. Okay, so really I made this list of things to do during my 30th year, but I never started it. Taking control of my procrastination is clearly not a priority. So without further ado, here is said list:

I'm not doing these items in the order. I just made them alphabetical because my brain needs some sort of organization. But I'm really excited about this. I'm hoping that I'll gain some new interests as well as some good habits. And if nothing else, I'll have something to blog about! And I can't do it alone - if you can help me with some of these things, please let me know. Even if it's just going to a museum with me, that's great. Most things in life are better shared.
Not sure how i ended up here (isn't internet always like that)!
Anyway thought this idea was really interesting, might try it myself next year.
How many have you done?
You should cut and paste it with a tick each time you complete a task
All the best
