This is so exciting! It tempts me to make one, but unless 1-101 were all “pass medical school” I think I might not be able to finish it. I love your ideas!
My comments (because I can’t do it in person):
#35 is obviously my favorite of your goals…but I might be biased.
#45: I own all of them, so if you want to borrow…
#88: This might be my favorite idea ever.
That’s a great list – good luck with completing your goals.
Great list! I think I’ll make my own now
