The start date was the 1 January 2023, but I wanted to wait until the 101 Things in 1001 Days list had offically ended.
I am not sure if there are any rules when completing a 50 Things Before 50 List. however, I have given myself a couple. These are just guidelines which make sense to me and I hope they make sense to you to.
Rules/Guidelines
- Items on this list will follow the S.M.A.R.T goals guideline, where possible – Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound
- A 5 BIG Dreams, potentially unachievable but always at the back of your mind at the top of the list.
- A New Item has to be added at the end of each year before 11 April 2030 (the day I turn 50 years) = 7 items to be added
- Items can only be removed and replaced for a genuine reason – for example, not being able to run due to doctors orders/injury etc…
