24/12 Challenge of 2017

This is an annual exercise I’ve done since 2014 in which I set goals for myself for the next year. A lot like New Years Resolutions, this is just like a vision board for my next year.  In 2014, it was The 36/36 Challenge (36 because I started it late in the year) and last year, it was The 51/51 Challenge (51 because I got it out a week late.)

Won’t you join me this year?  You can do 52 weeks, or 365 days or 18 new moons or something!  Link up to this page and let us know if you’re doing something so we can see you on!

This year, as I’m working through the goals, they will be color coded as follows:

These are done

These are being worked on

  1. Do at least two months of blogging every day. (Outside of NaBloPoMo.) 2/2
  2. Look into preschool for Wee One.
  3. Get pregnant.
  4. Submit at least four stories for publication/contests. (They don’t have to win or be accepted, but I have to write several stories well enough to submit.) 3/4 – I actually submitted a few in a way I didn’t expect, but it was good!
  5. Do one of those art/wine nights. Where you paint something, and usually are drinking too.
  6. Make five friends in Cbus.
  7. Take a vacation.

  12. Learn how to juggle. (Specifically, be able to make it through five tosses.) – I can make it on five tosses and more with scarves, but I have a harder time with balls. I made it to five once, but I usually make it three. I’ll keep practicing.
