I started this thing a few years back where I did 3 new things each month. They were mostly easy, fun, required little time commitment and accessible.
It was really a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and learn about things that I normally wouldn’t come into contact with. Like a mini bucket list!
Resuming this path, here is my ever-evolving list of things I plan on accomplishing before my time is up 🙂
