101 things before I turn 35 FAQ.

Why?

I’ve come to realize that life is short and instead of simply living each day with no purpose and saying “oh I really wish I did that”, I’d go out and do all the things I wish I did.  None of this last minute regrets.

With any dreams you have, I find writing them down, and goal setting to be a realistic way to achieving them.  As well, I find having someone hold you accountable for your achievements a good way to avoid the procrastination that comes along with life.

This is exactly what this blog is. I am putting it out to the world that I will achieve these things on my list. In return the world will hold me accountable for achieving these things.

Why 101 things before 35? Why not 101 things before you die?

Seeing how I am scared shitless of the concept of death and then what, it would feel a little weird to have a list of things to do before I am forced to find out what happens after death. So in honour of my 25^th birthday that passed a few months ago I came up with a list of 101 things I wanted to do before I turn 35.

Is this your original list?

Nope, this is not my original list.  Since completing my list 5 months ago (after a few years attempting to make a list) and posting it on facebook, I have been checking off things as I complete them. I have also been revaluating  the list and asking myself these questions, “Do I really want to do this?”, “Can I really do this?”, “Is this something I can do on my own, or will I need to rely on someone else to complete this for me?”, “Is this a one off thing, or is it open ended?”

If the answer was no to any of these questions, I removed them from my list.  Although, I did keep a few items because I like the challenge.

Now that the list is posted for the world to see, will it ever change?

It is hard to say. At this point in time I don’t plan on changing it. These are the things I want to achieve in the next 9.6 years and I will tick each thing off the list. However, I do give myself permission to change it at any time though.

35 then what? What if you don’t complete an item on your list?

101 things to do before I turn 45.

I haven’t though of that. I rather go in with the mind set, that yes I will achieve everything on the list.  If I don’t tick an item off, I suppose I can add them on the next list.

What if the world ends in 2012?

Well I better get cracking and check as many items off my list before then, just in case.
