30 by 30

I have the attention span of a gnat. I am constantly doing 100 things at one time and I often feel like I am only doing a few things well. Lists have become my saving grace. Now, I don’t get that like warm and fuzzy feeling crossing things off my to-do lists, but I love having my thoughts or plans written out. It for sure helps my stress levels. So as I turn 28 on Friday, with SO many ideas I want to put into action, I figured I better write it down.

My twenties have been an adventure, from heartbreak and singleness, travel, being the first in my immediate family to earn a degree, and to finally finding the love of my life…I feel pretty good about this decade. And if one thing is for sure, I was #becomingwiza and I didn’t even know it.

My 30 under 30 list is full of realistic goals. None of this fluffy pipe-dream crap and not a resolution list. (I am not a fan of resolutions, see why here Leaders Don’t Make Resolutions) These goals, my intentional vision of how I will wrap up my twenties. In order to do this, I asked myself, “what am I doing now to impact this vision” and “what do I need to start doing”?

2. Vacation in Lake Tahoe!

What are some of your goals? I think it is healthy to write down our visions or plans for the future, it makes them real. Want to really motivate yourself? Share them with someone! Let them hold you accountable! It will be worth it, I promise.
