Filed under: Mind, Motivation 

January is over, so as promised, here is my updated list.  Finished a few, and underway / planning a bunch more!  I’m finding that keeping this list is really motivating for me and I’m really looking forward to finishing them all off.  I’m starting to get in touch with people to setup dates for some of these and they feel more and more like reality and less like wishful thinking.

Finished in January:

  1. 29 – Spend a weekend snowboarding with my little brothers – off on another 3 day @ Blue next week too!
  2. 43 – Get a raise
  3. 74 – Re-pierce my labret – it didn’t close up as much as I thought

February – new mini goals

  1. Finish up my new set of goals
  2. Finish my current major freelance project
  3. Go snowboarding at least 10 times!
  4. Get comfortable doing 180s on mild slopes
