I am definitely a list maker at heart. I L-O-V-E making lists.
In fact, I have been SOO looking forward to this point in my life (just ask my husband) in which I can write a list of 30 things I want to accomplish before I turn 30!!
The lists I make are often unachievable, because there is just so much I want to do, and I am often too optimistic about what I can fit into my life. So, for many of these goals I have listed both a task I KNOW I can accomplish and one I would like to accomplish that fits into the same category.
And… The List! :
1. Start writing a children’s book.
2. Take a cooking class (or watch a couple cooking demonstrations).
3. Learn a new dance (perhaps Argentine Tango).
4. Finish the two quilts I have started.
5. Take pictures of all the outfit combinations I can come up with for my wardrobe.
6. Go on a classic American road trip.
7. Get married and become a mom (even if that means just getting pregnant).
8. Tend my own garden & cook a meal completely using my home-grown produce.
9. Visit an IKEA.
10. Organize all our photos.
11. Take belly dancing lessons (or practice with a DVD regularly for several weeks).
12. Complete a 7-day detox.
13. Start my own business (working 30 hours/wk. teaching piano, Chemistry, and tutoring)!
14. Host 3-5 dinner parties.
15. Play & Sing for a talent show (maybe even record it)!
16. Maintain my weight (and until I get pregnant, start working on losing 10 pounds).
17. Finish the Couch to 5K program (and run a 5K). (again, I already accomplished this once.)
18. Start a ‘frugal club’ or something similar.
19. Grow out my hair (to half way down my back).
20. Memorize 3 chapters of Colossians (or memorize the whole book).
21. Blog regularly for another year (and attend a blog conference)!
22. Add wainscoting to the spare room (in preparation for #7 baby room).
23. Complete the 30 Day Shred in 30 days!
24. Go on a cruise.
25. Work on my drawing/sketching skills so I can draw recognizable animals.
26. Create a YouTube channel.
27. Read and discuss 4 books with my husband.
28. Teach a high school class (even though I’m an elementary education major).
29. Publish an e-book.
30. Do 30 acts of kindness during the week of my 30th birthday!
Of course, I had to make a cute printable pdf so I can hang it up!!
Want to make your own list?
I created a pdf document you can print out, keeping the key action words to help you come up with a list of your own. If you want a completely blank document that you can edit, just email me and I will send it to you!
See you tomorrow!! I’m starting the 31 Day series: 31 Days of Building a Cleaning Routine and I will be posting every day my journey and the new DIY cleaning recipes I’m trying out!!

The nearest one for me is 9-10 hours away! Although they are building a new one in Kansas City next year and it will be done Fall 2014 – so excited!!
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Just read about 30 before 30 and 40 before 40 at http://dayzeroproject.com/. also 101 in 1001 days. I am working on a blog post to share mine, I am doing 52 in 52 weeks, but maybe I will do similar to yours and 40 before 40 as I am 35 now
52 in 52 weeks – very ambitious of you!! 40 before 40 sounds like a great idea – especially when you have several years to work on it!
