25 Things in 2025 - Thing #1

[smallhobbit]

Complete 25 things in 2025 and do a post (however brief) about each one of them

This is the final Thing of the 25, because they are now complete.

The full list can be found here

The majority of the challenges were to make progress in various areas, so I'm pleased to have done so.  I also managed to tackle a few more nature based challenges, which have been satisfying.

Would I do the same thing next year?  No, because 60% were tasks which had been building up and have now been dealt with.

For me, repeating things year on year tends to become a chore, rather than a positive challenge.  So it will be New Year, New Discoveries.

This is quite an accomplishment.

It's good to know what works for you. Me, I always have a new batch of things that need doing, so that's a good share of my one-day goals each year.

Fair enough.

For me, I have a set of "keep doing" or "do monthly" tasks that I want to keep track of. I did find that it became frustrating when I couldn't check off goals until the end of the year, so I started adding one-day goals, seasonal goals, and other stuff.

That is an awesome theme.

Well done!

I have come to agree with you on repeating challenges a second or third year.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. Yes, they turn from being a positive challenge and seem to become a chore.

New Year, New Discoveries sounds like a good idea!

[smallhobbit]

Some things get planned, but I do like to be open to new possibilities.

How fantastic! I love how you divided the year into quarters. Well done.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. It made sense, as it allowed different and often seasonal things to come up.

Congratulations and I hope you find some wonderful New Discoveries to explore next year.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much - I've found if I'm open to things, something always turns up :)
