Recently I’ve been trying to follow through more reliably on things I commit to. It’s easy to be excited about a project and give up before or shortly after I’ve started. I saw a list like this on a blog somewhere and I liked the idea: a finite list of things to complete in a finite amount of time. These are a handful of things (in no particular order) I’ve been wanting to do, but have trouble finding the motivation, time, or opportunity. Having a list will make it easier and more fun to cross each item off as I complete them. It is 232 days until I turn 26, so I’d better get started.

Just ran across your post on Freshly Pressed and loved the concept. Then I saw this category and had to make a comment because my blog is entitled 30 Before 30. I am turning 30 in November and am chronicling my stories of completing 30 things on my list. Hope you’ll check it out. Theres also alot of other randomness and stories to laugh at!
Awesome blog! Hope you accomplish a lot before your 30th birthday. I’m probably only going to finish half of my list, but I’m still pretty happy with everything. π
