Setting targets with a specific deadline is something I have so far resisted because I don’t like the idea of setting high expectations or putting pressure on myself, but in honesty, writing this blog and making my bucket list have really proved to me beyond a doubt that it has motivated me to stay inspired by having something concrete to work towards. If I don’t tick them all off-I won’t beat myself up-but I will have a bloody good go it, and I will have something to aim for.
