2016 To Do List

I just did my What I Did In 2015 post a couple of days ago, detailing–you guessed it–the things that I was able to cross of my 2015 To Do List. I do these every year, creating a list of forty things that I'd like to accomplish throughout the year, one way or another. I considered not doing one this year, but at this point, it's a tradition for me. This is my fifth year doing it and I think I'd regret it if I didn't humor myself with yet another list. I'm switching it up a tiny bit this year regarding what I put on the list. The "tasks" might seem easier or a bit more obvious, but I think that it's a really gratifying experience to cross things off of a list, so while some of these things are going to happen regardless of a goal set or not, I'd like to add them regardless!
