without
switching
to
English
.
03
Learn
one
practical
skill
a
year
that

with
my
job
—
bread
baking
,
motorcycle
maintenance
,
basic
carpentry
.
04
Complete
a
formal
course
in
a
subject
that
intimidates
me

statistics
,
contract
law
,
music
theory
—
and
finish
it
,
not
just
enrol
.
05

a
daily
journal
for
a
full
year
,
even
if
each

three
lines
.
Health

Vitality

for
and

,
or
simply
upright
and
smiling
.
07
Average
7.5
hours
of
sleep
across
a
full
year
,
tracked
honestly
rather
than
estimated
.

Strength

twice
a
week
for
twelve
consecutive
months
and
add
20%
to
my
main
lifts
.

five
dinners
a
week
from
whole
ingredients
and
stop
treating
takeout

a
default
.

a
full
annual
physical
and
act
on
every
recommendation
that
comes
out
of
it
.

Craft
&
Career
11–15
11
Ship
one
substantial
piece
of
work
every
quarter
—
something
I
would
be
comfortable
putting
my
name
on
publicly
.
12
Publish
a
book
,
or
fifty
finished
essays
—
whichever
the
decade
allows
,
but
finished
,
not
drafted
.
13
Mentor
three
people
a
year
and
stay
in
touch
with
them
after
the
formal
relationship
ends
.
14
Speak
at
one
conference
or
public
event
a
year
,
even
when
the
room
is
small
.
15
Build
a
visible
body
of
work
—
a
portfolio
,
a
newsletter
,
a
shelf
of
projects
—
that
exists
independently
of
any
employer
.
Relationships
&
Community
16 –20
16
Host
dinner
at
home
once
a
month
for
people
I
actually
want
to
know
better
.
17
Call
one
friend
or
family
member
every
week
—
a
real
conversation
,
not
a
text
thread
.
18
Take
one
trip
a
year
with
just
my
parents
or
siblings
,
no
partners
,
no
logistics
committee
.
19
Join
a
local
club
,
team
,
or
committee
and
stay
for
a
full
year
before
deciding
whether
to
quit
.
20
Write
one
honest
letter
a
month
to
someone
who

know
it
.
Money
&
Freedom
21–25

untouched
except
in
a
genuine
emergency
.
22
Save
and
invest
25%
of
after

tax
income
every
year
,
automatically
,
before
it
can
be
spent
.

Be
completely
free
of
consumer
debt
—
cards
,
car
loans
,
buy
-
now
-
pay
-
later
—
and
stay
there
.
24
Hold
one
year
of
expenses
in
liquid
savings
so
that
no
job
decision
is
forced
by
a
rent
cheque
.
25
Build
one
income
stream
that
isn
'
t
a
salary
—
small
is
fine
,
self
-
sustaining
is
the
point
.

&
Inner
Life

26
Have
the
hard
conversation
within
48
hours
instead
of
letting
it
calcify
into
resentment
.
27
Meditate
or
sit
quietly
for
ten
minutes
a
day
and
stop
measuring
the
streak
.
28
Do
one
thing
a
month
I
am
visibly
bad
at

karaoke
,
chess
,
dancing
—
and
let
people
watch
.

from
my

from
screens
entirely
.

my
own

once
a

and
rewrite

if
the
draft
reads
badly
.
Adventure
&
Experience
31–35
31
Visit
ten
countries
I
have
never
been
to
—
with
a
month
in
each
,
not
a
weekend
in
three
.
32
Take
a
solo
trip
of
at
least
two
weeks
with
no
fixed
itinerary
past
day
one
.
33
See
live
music
once
a
quarter
,
in
a
small
venue
where
I
have
to
stand
.
34
Learn
to
sail
,
camp
in
real
wilderness
,
or
ride
a
motorcycle
—
one
skill
that
puts
weather
between
me
and
comfort
.
35
Take
a
full
month
off
every
year
and
actually
stop
working
during
it
.
Contribution
&
Legacy

100
hours
a
year
to
something
that
would
carry
on
without
me
.
37
Give
5%
of
annual
income
to
causes
I
have
researched
,
and
give
it
early
rather
than
in
December
.
38
Teach
a
free
workshop
every
year
in
the
thing
I
am
genuinely
good
at
.
39
Plant
something
that
outlives
me
—
a
tree
,
an
orchard
,
a
scholarship
,
a
small
fund
.
40
Leave
a
written
record
—
family
history
,
letters
,
a
working
archive
—
so
the
next
person
starts
further
ahead
.
