52 Things in 52 Weeks
The first week of January is, for me, not only the New Year as prescribed by the calendar, but also a new year, as prescribed by my date of birth. I’ve just turned 32, and I feel like perhaps I’m stuck in a wee bit of a rut. I’d like to try new things, move on with some things I’ve been putting off, and generally take a more active role in shaping my life. As such, I have set myself a challenge. Over the next 52 weeks, I will attempt to accomplish 52 goals I have set for myself. These are not resolutions. It is not a matter of giving something up, or losing a certain amount of weight, or all of a sudden becoming a different person. Rather, these are tasks to accomplish, experiences to enjoy, changes I would like to work towards. While there are 52 items on the list, and 52 weeks in the year, the idea is not necessarily to complete one task each week. Some of the tasks are one day events, others are much more longterm. I’ve set up a new blog as a tracking tool, to keep me on task, and to monitor my progress and successes. It is mostly for me, but in order to give myself a little pressure to succeed, I’m making it public. You can follow along at http://52thingsin52weeks.wordpress.com/.
