My 30 Before 30 List

Last Updated: 7/11/2024

Here is a list of 30 things that I am striving to do before I hit my 30th birthday. I wrote this list about a month ago, so I have just over 6 years to work through it. I won’t be crushed if some things need to wait until my 30s or later in life, but writing this list was motivating and encouraging even if I’m not able to check off every single thing. These are all things that have been on my mind for quite some time, so it is fun for me to share them with you as well. I highly recommend reflecting and making a similar list even if your 30th birthday is fast approaching or 40 years in the past.
