I’ve had this idea of 40 before 40 on my mind since I turned 36 in November. Mostly because it was 4 years until 4. I started a list, but have only been able to come up with about 20 things. I want them to be tangible / achievable things. This is what I have so far – and they are in no particular order.

So far, I’ve only crossed off two of these things, and haven’t even come up with all 40 items yet! A few of them seem like a bit of a far reach…
Edit: 3.4.20 – I am crossing off the ones I have done so far. I wish I would have put a date next to them. I’ve got four things left to come up with but … a work in progress!
Edit: 6.26.20 – I have 40 things accounted for; now to tackle crossing them off.
