The List

I spent a mostly solo month in New Zealand in February/March 2018. It was sort of planned, sort of life serving me a big pill to swallow, and 100% life-changing. I can’t remember if I started this list while still in NZ or shortly after getting back home, but it’s sort of… been awhile since I wrote it and have been dragging my feet through it. Something something adulting and lack of motivation sucks. Currently sitting at 25 with 11 years of experience, I’ve got a little bit of time left to aggressively get after this list. Some of my best work is done in the eleventh hour, so I’m just here bringing in that top-notch procrastination creativity.
