30 Goals and To Dos for 2020 📝
The new year is nearly a week old now, and every day I’ve looked at the list of Goals and To Dos that I started writing for 2020 and tried to figure out what else needed to be added. And now I think I’m happy with the list, for now.
Last year I went way overboard. I joined Casey and Zach in creating a list of 200 goals for 2019 and as I said at the time, it was too much. This year I didn’t start with a number in mind, I just starting thinking and writing and planning a little to see what made sense.
Some of these points are specific to thisdaddylife.com, some are more pointed at what I do at thereviewsarein.com, and some are for my personal life. It’s a mix that I can’t separate from each other, because they are all parts of what I’m planning for 2020.
Check out the list, see if any of these goals and to dos resonate with you – and feel free to check in throughout the year to see how things are going.
Happy New Year!
