When I started my 28 by 28 goal-setting, a lot of people immediately pointed out that I was creating a dangerous precedent and would someday be trying to complete 60 goals by the time I turned 60. That may be true, but for now, I have 29 goals for my 29th year. For me, this goal setting is about publically committing myself to do things that I really want to do but would fall by the wayside if I didn’t feel some accountability all of you. So thank you for reading and commenting and participating in my sometimes random goals.
I decided to group my 29 by 29 goals into things in my life that give me joy: cooking, creating, work, physical challenges, and home life. I tried to make the goals concrete and achievable so I know when I have met them. Without further ado, my 29 by 29 list is:
