Following on from my review of the 24 things I wanted to do in 2024, I have put together my list for 2025. As you can see, these are all tangible things that can be achieved. These things are not habits; habits are not easy to measure, or to tick off so therefore I am not really interested. Where there is something habitual I want to change (for example, staying in touch with friends more), I have set an actionable task for myself that I hope will nudge me in the right direction (that direction being onward, of course!). Neither are these resolutions although I suppose the categories indicate what is important to me this year. I have included things that I know are happening already as well as things I hope we can do and I update my progress throughout the year.
