I will have successfully completed a 5 kilometers race, no matter in what time.

I'll record this in this journal.

Why do I want to do this?

Knitting is a fun hobby of mine and I want to keep doing it. However, I don't knit enough things for myself.

I have knitted 5 things and given them away as gifts - I have knitted a further 10 items I kept myself and wore at least once.

I'll record this here, one post for every item.

024: Get my two rather dark moles treated

What's this about?

I have two dark-ish raised moles left on my body, one below my neck and one on my nape. I have had two removed previously, one under my right breast and one on my right leg.

Why do I want to do this?

There is no need for me to have that slight risk of skin cancer. But I am putting this off all the time.

How will I know when I've done this?

The two moles are surgically removed.

I'll record this with a post here.

025: Get a significant payraise

Why do I want to do this?

I need to learn to ask for something like this with enough confidence and arguments that I will get it.

How will I know when I've done this?

I will have received what I will count as a significant payraise :)

I'll record this in a post in this journal.

026: Keep a diary for a year

Why do I want to do this?

I have found keeping a diary very helpful before and want to try it again-

I will have had a diary for one year and have written into it at least 5 times every week. The entries don't need to be a certain length or anything.
