52 Things in 52 Weeks


Some of you observant folks may have noticed that over the weekend my 25x25 list transformed into a 52 in 52 list. I've been 26 for almost a year now and have thought many times about needing to do something with my 25x25 list but couldn't decide on a plan. For a while I thought about doing a 101 in 1001 list that seem to be popular among bloggers but 101 things is a lot of things and 1001 days feels like a long time! A 30x30 list didn't interest me because it felt cliche and four years is a long time to do 30 things. So after some thought I decided to create a list of 52 things I want to do over the course of the 52 weeks that make up 2016.
  1. Complete 12 months of Project Life. (0/12)
  2. Document my One Little Word for the whole year. 
  3. Read 52 Books. (0/52)

  14. Invest in a custom piece of jewelry. 
  15. Mail Valentine's Day Cards.
  16. Mail Christmas Cards. 
  17. Mail post cards during a vacation.
  18. Publish 152 blog posts. (0/152)
  19. Take a photography or cooking class.

  48. Enjoy a guilt free afternoon nap.
  49. Join a club.
  50. Enjoy a bonfire with friends.
  51. Follow through with decluttering and the KonMari method.
  52. Make cards using my photos/scrapbooking stash and sell them.

  1. Nice list! I'm creating one for the new year as well. Honestly, after getting started I realized that 52 is a large number! I've tried the 101 in 1001 days challenge, but once I got back to the list a few months later, I saw how much unmeaningful things I put there just to fill it up! Don't want to make that mistake again! Best of luck!
