One of the things that I do at the end of each year is to add new things to my life list. This is the list of things that I want to do before I die. I try to think of as many things as possible. Then I try to organize them by realistic chronological order. Once that’s done, I can see which things I hope to accomplish in the upcoming year.

For example, I have a lot of travel items on my list. I want to go to Iceland. I want to spend a summer in the Greek Islands. I want to ski Canadian Rockies. I put all of these things on my list and look at which one might get done in the upcoming year. This year it’s going to the Banff Canadian Rockies. I’ll check that off of my list in November and then I’ll choose something new from the travel list to accomplish next year.

I think this process is a good one. It helps me to identify which things I want to do in my life but also to keep it realistic. It helps me set and accomplish my goals. And I think the best part is that I’m always adding new things to the life list. I’ll never run out of things that I want to do in this lifetime!
