I thought about it for a while, and even though I didn’t complete 100% of my 35 Things to do Before 35; I still really enjoyed the process and am going to do it again. Here are my goals to accomplish before I turn 36!

Very cool idea. I’m impressed with your ambition. I can’t join you, though… 15 years too late!

You can do whatever you want 🙂 12 in 12 for the year! 8 cocktails in the month! 5 cats snuggled in a week! Okay, I’m just being weird now.

Wow, those are a whole lot of goals! How are you faring so far? Does the list rather motivate or stress you? I’ll pop over your friend’s blog to see what it’s all exactly about 😉 Keep up your spirits and hope you’ll manage your goals before 35 🙂 Good luck ❤

Well… The ones in italics are the ones I’ve done. I have numbers on the ongoing things for how much success I’ve had. I think you’re right on… It motivates AND stresses me. I like it enough that I’ve already decided to do it next year, but I think I’m going to focus more on fun experiences that I want to push myself to try. Thanks for looking!

That might be a very good way to do it – focusing on fun stuff! One tends to be so (too…) ambitious – at least I know I do… sometimes it’s important to let it go a bit and just enjoy the moment. It would have to be a good and healthy balance between the two things^^. Thanks a lot for the follow btw – I truly appreciate it ❤
