If you know me, you know I do a lot of reflecting at the end of the year to get ready for the time that follows. What can I say, the planner in me LOVES this time of year!
This year I found a new-to-me blog with a workbook to go through this year and next. There were a bunch of topics covered that got me thinking. I’ll discuss more after the holiday break, but for today I wanted to share a fun exercise Leonie suggested. She has us list 100 things to do in 2013. Could be personal or professional, serious or silly.
Here’s my list.
