My wife and I put together a list at our birthdays on goals for the year. Something like “the 35 things I want to do before I turn 35.” I missed the boat this year so I’m going to instead put together some 2024 goals. The idea here it to be pretty achievable, while stretching ourselves in some areas. They can be somewhat open-ended, but explainable when accomplished.

My 2024 Goals

1. Read 10 non-fiction books
2. Run an under 1:55 half marathon
3. Finish starfield
4. Do some exercise that isn’t running once a week
5. Hit 158 pounds

10. Set up the family with a global todo list
