I’ve spent several weeks thinking about these, trying to come up with a well-rounded list that included a tangible tracking mechanism so it would be easier to determine success. Without further ado, I present Alissa’s 2018 Goals:

1. Listen to 15 audiobooks.
2. Post on my blog bi-weekly (or at least average two posts a month).
3. Run in three adventure races with Tony.
4. Go on one big adventure.
5. Make more memories doing stuff. With the kids. With Tony. With my parents. With my sister. With my brother. Focus less on things.
6. Help DARI hit it’s 2018 sales goal.
7. Decide where we’re going to live and make it happen.
8. Stay within my lunch budget each month.

Some of these will be pretty easy to do. (I’ve already listened to two books this month.) Others will require work – training, writing, thinking. And my favorites will require quality time, something that I’m cherishing more and more as I get older.

Update: I decided to add an additional goal to my list (see #8 above). It seems like a simple one, but it’s going to be a challenge… I always like challenges.
