Goals bingo for 2017

[luzula]

Unfinished goals from last year that I aim to do this year:

• Change banks (third year's the charm...).
• Get a tattoo.
• Make lots of jam in the berry/fruit season.
• Post 3h of podfic. (This goal is sneakily changed from record 3h to post 3h. This is because I have a long unfinished collaboration which I want to count towards the goal if I manage to finish it...).
• Write a scientific article together with Senior Scientist Guy from my summer mountain work.
• Spend 24 hours in a tree.
• Take part in at least two union negotiations.
• Record an album with my sister.

Finished goals from last year that I am aiming for again:

• Make a new friend.
• Sleep 20 nights outside/in a tent.
• Go to some activity/meeting which sounds interesting but is out of my comfort zone or that I have never done before.
• Go swimming in 20 new lakes/places by the sea.
• Go to one of the Swedish national parks I haven't been to.

Goals from last year that I am developing/changing:

• At least one fourth of the books I read should be rereads. (Was: read < 1/3 American books, which I did.)
• Collaborate on research project about forest and climate. (Was: find a new research collaboration/project.)
• Hold a speech on May Day. (Was: help organize May Day parade. This one is kind of scary! But it would be an interesting challenge, and I do have an idea of what I'd want to say.)
• Go running 20 times. (Was: weightlift regularly, which I have formed a very good habit for now. I need more aerobic exercise during the non-summer months (in the summer I'm outside all the time anyway). So I'm going to try some low-key running.)

New goals:

• Try ten new recipes. (I have a fairly large repertoire of meals, but I'd like to enlarge it, and I hardly ever cook from recipes.)
• Visit my friend Ida for at least a couple of days in the summer (she's my oldest friend, but has two kids now, so it's more of an effort to find the time/place to be with her.)
• Visit three friends who don't live in my city, that I don't usually visit (I do have four people in mind here, but let's go with three so as not to be overambitious).
• Delete my gmail accounts (this would involve storing all those years of emails somewhere else).
• (Re)install Linux on at least one of my computers, hopefully both. (I used to be all Linux, all the time, but my stationary computer kind of broke down and I need to reinstall, and when I got a new laptop it had Windows and the one time I tried to install Linux it didn't work, so I need to get some computer geek advice on it.)
• Go tree climbing ten times. (I didn't climb as much last year, which I blame the Great Species Contest for, but I want to do it more this year.)
• Track the butterfly and moth species I see during the year. (I definitely don't have the energy to track All The Species like I did this year, but doing it with one group a year sounds good. And I just started looking at moths this year, so.)
• Post at least three fanfiction stories.

I notice I have no goals related to my environmental work. I guess this is because I do it all the time anyway, and I had no particular new thing I wanted to do within it. Also, I do have an actual 5x5 bingo card on paper, but I was too lazy to find the code for that online.

Well, my issue was a bit more basic--my laptop didn't want to boot from a USB, and when I tried to go into the BIOS to change the boot order, I couldn't. Doubtless this is a devious plan to prevent me from doing exactly the thing I want to do. This was some time ago, so I don't remember the details now. But I do know people to ask for help.
