I am a very goal oriented person too. I did a 30 before 30 list a few months ago and it is almost time for my 6 month progress check. I better get working on them soon:) Good luck with your list!

Good luck with your queries!

Less than 2 months until I turn 30. I thought of making a list and didn't.

Good luck with your novel queries! That's an impressive list.

It's interesting to see your real priorities; going to Greenland and knitting a sweater!
Wishing you "bon courage"!

2010-07-08T04:35:16.625+01:00

That is quite a list! And you're doing well in achieving all your goals. Just make sure you leave lots of things to aim for in the future too.

Good progress and an impressive list. Remember to...

Good progress and an impressive list. Remember to enjoy the process along the way.

Fantastic fun list! I used to make lists like these... and then I realized that the fun of it for me was veering from the list. :) Whatever works!

Amazing! I love your ambition!!

You have so many great ambitions. I make a list for everything else, I wonder why I never made one for life? Might have to think about that. Best of luck!

Good luck getting your novel published!

I think a list is a good idea, but I'm more of a "one goal at a time" sort of person, because I put my absolute focus and energy into that.

If I had 24 other goals weighing on me, I'd go mad.

I do like your list...you have made nice progress....

2010-07-07T05:03:33.563+01:00

I do like your list...you have made nice progress...those are some great goals. Good luck on the queries..it is nerve-wracking and exciting!

2010-07-07T03:42:34.290+01:00

Good luck! And well done. I like your list and the way you measure your progress. Goals are good. Although kids make it hard to have goals other than 'keep kids alive until tonight'. I know it's a lame excuse, and I'm comfortable with that.

Thanks for stopping by my blog this week. I love meeting new friends. I am your newest follower. I can't wait to look around a little and check out your blog.

Hi! My 2010 list is updated every couple of days and the goals themselves are amended to reflect reality. For instance, I realised I was never going to get time to work all the way through a certain Chinese grammar book before leaving Taipei, so have reduced that goal to finish chapters 2 and 3 (which are nouns and verbs, so pretty long sections), and I couldn't take an exam I was interested in - I was ineligible this time, so that got knocked off totally!!

I also have a long term list that gets played around with as and when interests wax and wane, or new things come up and knock others off top place!! Sigh!=)

Good to see your progress, keep it up! I'm looking forwward to the next update. Keep on following up enquiries that you send. Most people ignore you the first time you contact them, you really have to get back to them until you at least get a certain 'no thanks'. My trying to get a decent job in Sheffield will be like that, I fear....

Blog hits are a HARD thing to measure! Mine have stayed relatively static at about 1000 per month, but I'm aware that my number of followers and Reader subscribers has increased a fair bit. Many regular readers don't 'show up' on things like Analytics stats as they read only feeds and not the real thing. Frustrating when you want a real readership figure!

See ya soon! Toodles.=)

That's such a great set of goals to have!

Here's to the next six months of progress!

Wow! That is pretty impressive, Girl!! You are really crossing these babies off, one by one! Nice job! Just reading it makes me TIRED! (But then again, I'm over 30!)

My goodness! These are great goals. Of course, you...

My goodness! These are great goals. Of course, your PHD will be enough!

Love your list. What are you writing your dissertation on?

2010-07-06T18:50:02.707+01:00

wow I'm impressed with all you've set out to accomplish. I can't make lists like these because then I'll just get disappointed in my failure, but I do hope to publish a book by 30 too! Good luck!

2010-07-06T18:33:42.008+01:00

What a great update!! I am inspired by your follow through! Many folks start lists like this but do not do what is needed to keep the game in front of them!!

Love that you went to Greenland.... that and New Zealand need to be on my list!!!

2010-07-06T18:30:11.993+01:00

Impressive Rachel and you have age on your side even if you do not complete this list before you are thirty. In fact I think you will be adding to it. :)

Ah, the energies and optimism of youth. Send some my way.

2010-07-06T17:24:05.503+01:00

Love this. I wonder whether it's worth starting my 'before I'm 30' list while I still have 6 and a half years to complete it...!

I love this idea, I've seen so many people do ...

2010-07-06T17:13:44.726+01:00

I love this idea, I've seen so many people do this, I'm going to do it too, but I need to have a good think about it.

I would have had a few things on your list if I'd started it earlier but I've done them now, like presenting at conferences and publishing in journals.

I love the 30 countries idea - I'll have to count my list up and see how many more I need - might steal that one from you!

I'm not brave enough to do a podcast! Good luck with that one. Finishing you warrant shouldn't be too difficult I'm sure you're doing it all already anyway.

Good luck and enjoy these!

2010-07-06T16:19:07.792+01:00

Well done. Does getting the Guiding warrant mean that you would be leading Girl Guides? Is it very difficult to get the warrant there?
