Much like my 2024 review, this post is very delayed in going up! But I have been working on creating the list since December, so as I write this I have already checked a few things off, which is fun. Progress made, even before I managed to get it posted! 💪🏼 😂
I’m a huge fan of making these lists, because they tend to help nudge me out of my comfort zone to try new things. These are all things that sound fun or interesting to me, or important stuff that I might otherwise procrastinate about prioritizing. What can I say? It’s nice to get an extra gold star for completing things I already want to do. 😉⭐️ I almost never finish the whole list, but that’s not really the point! It’s just fun to track throughout the year.
