Remember my 24 in 2024 didn’t go so well.
And by that I don’t just mean that my score wasn’t very high, though it wasn’t. What I mean is that it didn’t really serve a useful purpose. I didn’t check in on it. It wasn’t a list of fun opportunities either. I got too busy, life got in the way, and this wasn’t really a good reminder to make room for fun in my life.
Also, some of the goals weren’t very specific so it was hard to tell if I’d attained them. Eat more veggies? Sure. But how many? More than what?
Also, 25 is a lot and so they can’t all be Big Important Things.
So here is a more specific list and they’re not all so big.
