52 in 52 List: 2013-2014

When I started writing goals down three years ago, I was doing the Day Zero (1,001 days, 101 goals) and it was just too much, my goals kept changing and it seemed to be about once every year. After re-doing my list three times, I decided to start over and go with a smaller scale. Thus, 52 in 52 began! I completed my first year with a total of 15/52 complete. My second list didn't go so well and I ended up re-vamping about six months in, which is now this list!

If you want to do the challege too, here are the "rules":

1. Everything must be attainable.
2. Everything must have a certain level of difficulty. It can't be TOO easy.
3. Everything must be something you REALLY want to do - otherwise you'll avoid it like the plague.

That's it! Let me know if you decide to play along, so that I can follow your journey!
