I’ve been a listing-making, aim-oriented individual for most of my life. However the pandemic, my stint dwelling in a hospital, and the loss of each our cats, made me marvel what the purpose of setting arbitrary targets was. What was the purpose of something?

I spent most of my time in mattress or on my Animal Crossing island as a result of I didn’t need to face actuality. It was an excessive amount of.

After three years of not posting targets, I’m again this 12 months feeling somewhat extra like my outdated self once more with the assistance of my new espresso obsession and deeper friendships.

24 GOALS FOR 2024

I don’t remorse taking a number of years off. I’m glad I broke from the Western capitalistic mentality, the place you flip the whole lot into productiveness. Grief? Flip that into productiveness, too! As a result of society says throwing your self at work is far more acceptable than a depressive episode.

I’m sharing targets once more as a result of I get extra performed with some public accountability. Nonetheless, this 12 months is barely about doing greater than final 12 months, not attending to 100% completion.
