I wrote down things that made me happy and my goals a lot when I was in high school.  (I have some of those list, maybe I’ll link them here.)  I decided I should start doing it again.  These all obviously have different time lines (what I want to do this year, in the next 5 years, some time in my life.)  They are also listed in no sort of order.  I am sure I will add to this as time goes by…and hopefully I will start scratching things off.
