I think this same scenario happened last year, my friend Annie's blog reminded me that it was my birthday and I should set some goals for myself. So here they are, my 26 goals by my 26th birthday...
- Plant a garden
- Hit 1,000 followers on Twitter
- Attend a Murder Mystery dinner
- Create a documentary
- Take a glass blowing class
- Adopt a dog
- Start saving for a vacation overseas with the boyf
- Enroll in another graduate program
- Build a private yoga oasis in my house
- Take my dog hiking
- Be happy
- Learn to cook better (or at all)
- Eat healthy and take my vitamins
- Learn to use power tools (safely)
- Volunteer more
- Install solar panels or wind turbines at my house
- Get my picture taken with Grumpy Cat
- Attend another TED event
- Live more simply
- Spend more time outdoors
- Start the classes to become a yoga instructor
- Have an ice cream social with home-made ice cream
- Run a marathon... just kidding
- Rewatch all of Lost
- Pay the rest of my student loan off in full
- Be part of something big!
And here is how I did on my 25 by 25 in the last year...
- Purchase my first home - CHECK! Biggest accomplishment to date!
- Start a social media video podcast - Check out Social Media Meltdown
- Get a dog, preferably a Siberian Husky - Have you seen my beautiful baby?!
- Attend a local tweetup - No, and now that I think about it I'm not even sure this sounds like fun
- Start saving for a luxurious vacation overseas with my boyfriend - This happened but then I decided to buy a house and he decided to pay off student loans so now our savings is back at zero... but it still counts!
- Launch a lifestyle blog with my friends - We did. Then it died? Totally still counts.
- Take a pottery class - I wish
- Hit 20,000 tweets - I'm at 22,550!
- Attend a weekly yoga class - I attened a lot of yoga classes this year of all types!
- Visit the gym twice a week - For awhile I attended frequently...
- Start seriously working on the documentary I dream to create - Still a dream of mine.
- Hit 1,000 followers on Twitter - Nope, at 734
- Go on a vacation with my girl friends - I had to back out of the girls Vegas trip because I was running my own business and at the time I couldn't afford to leave my work for that many days, plus I was in uber house-saving mode since closing was getting close!
- Attend a Murder Mystery dinner - Must. Do. This.
- Purge my life of un-needed and un-wanted belongings; De-clutter my life - When I moved into the new house I ended up getting rid of a lot of unnecessary things.
- Go hiking in a rural forest area of Michigan's Upper Peninsula known for its many waterfalls - So much fun! The boyf and I went over the summer and loved every second of it!
- Create more content on the internet (i.e., blogs, video, podcasts, etc.) - check!
- Bring in more freelance business - I've taken on a lot of new customers and this year my largest and longest running client hired me in as a full time employee so that was exciting!
- Learn to schedule my time more efficiently - Yes, but it still needs work!
- Host an ice cream social with my friends where we make ice cream from scratch - This still sounds like a good idea
- Be on TV (even if it's just for a second) - nope :(
- Start a trending topic on Twitter - failed.
- Pick up more guest blogging gigs - Not as many as I wanted to.
- Be tweeted at by someone famous - Not even close
- Fine tune my video editing skills - I have Vine...
