In my twenties I set myself a task to complete 183 tasks by the time I was 30. I achieved around 130 of them, even managed to get national TV coverage for one of them, but it was frankly a little too long a list and took over my life to a fair extent.

As I enter my 40th year of life (writing this in 2022), I have set myself a goal a year to achieve over the next 40 years.

In all likelihood this list will probably see me through into my final years of life (I’m a realist), so each one of these 40 has a particular meaning for me.

They are in no particular order, and as I achieve one I will cross it from the list, share a brief summary, and use this site as a personal tracker.

I hope you enjoy the list, and all the best with your goal setting endeavours!

p.s. If you spot anything on this list that you think you could help me to achieve I’d love to hear from you.
