I don't know if it's still a "thing" but I've decided to try the 101 in 1001 challenge again. Basically you make a list of 101 things you want to do and then have 1001 days to complete them. This is either things I want to do, things I have done before but want to progress with, or things I've never done before. There are a lot of learning and art-based activities on the list this time, because learning/studying and drawing are honestly my favourite things to do.
If I find that the courses are no longer free, or that I simply don't have time for some of them (I'm learning 5 languages - which I won't give up - as well and there are 33 courses listed below) then I will swap them out for another goal instead.
Starting today, that means I have to complete them by:
