It’s six months till I’ll be 25 so I figured I’d check in on my list of 25 before 25.
1. Go on a caribbean trip
I’ve finally booked a trip for February!

It’s a work in progress.
3. Breakeven on my self hosting investment
That is definitely not happening lol
4. Sell 100 copies of my debut poetry collection Cracked Open in its first 6 months
haha definitely not… but I have made over $100 so I’ll take what I can get
5. Go hiking regularly in the warm weather
I didn’t get out much as I wanted it

10. Go kayaking
Didn’t get to it this summer

I didn’t this summer but who knows with the holidays

Indeed I did! It’s blonde now
14. Start organizing for my next poetry collection

I’m not in a rush and I’m still thinking about what I might want
18. Attend a sporting event

21. Visit 20 new places
I’ve been to quite a few new restaurants and local attractions.
22. Go to the golf range more often

So I’ve got 10 done already and 4 that I didn’t get the chance to. I think I’ll get another 5 in the next few months but the rest we’ll just have to wait and see.
Interesting list. I too will make one for myself this year.
I enjoyed your post. Lists are great. Checking on progress mid-term was an excellent idea.
Looks like you’ve made some progress. And you still have some time to spare for some. Good luck!
🙏👍
Goals are important. Keep reaching!
You’ve ticked a lot off and some of these are quite big goals. Good luck with the rest of the list.
