Questions like: Should I do a Masters? What should I study? Should I join the BAS? Do I want to freelance more? Do I want to freelance at all? Can I spend all my spare time sewing? When will I make time for my side projects?
So, to give my year some direction, I've compiled a list of things I want to do before I'm thirty. This list is meant to inspire me, motivate me, challenge me. Hopefully the satisfaction of completing my list and the process of finding more about what I like/don't like, may even make the 'what's next' decision easier.
So, here is my list:
- Blog regularly
- Complete a 365 or 52 drawing project (where you draw every day/every week)
- Compile and read my book list (approx 20 books/year)
- Finish the first Harry Potter book in french
- Go along to one BAS public viewing night
- Learn some good astro-photography skills and take one great shot
- Shoot photos regularly on my Diana F+
- Complete the tutorials on Code Academy
- Do an obstacle course/fun run (probably The Stampede)
- Try 2 new recipes/month
- Go for a bush walk/hike up a mountain
- Start running (again, fingers crossed no injuries)
- Commute full-time to work by bike

- Recover and re-varnish our dining chairs
