My 24 Hard Things for 2024



In 2023, I declared 23 Hard Things that I aspired to do and committed to focusing on. As a whole, it was successful. I'm going to give it another try in this new year. Here are my 24 Hard Things for 2024 

1) Read 48 books, in addition to books of the Bible that get read. Reading 48 books was one of my hard things in 2023 and, given the fact that I read soooo many more than that, it may seem that it is not quite right to still consider this to be a hard thing for this next year. However, I intend on devoting significantly more time writing in 2024 which will make it more difficult to devote time to reading. Additionally, 12 of the 48 books need to come from my personal library and 12 of the 48 need to be memoir, biography or autobiography. 

2) Replace gutters.

3) Trim trees.

4) Get rid of the van.

5) Edit and curate the attic quarters.

6) Have at least one adventure per month.

7) Use or purge extra scrapbooks.

8) Purge a minimum of 1800 items.

9) Lift weights a minimum of 48 times.

10) Track expenditures a minimum of 275 days.

11) Take vitamins a minimum of 275 days.

12) Floss teeth a minimum of 275 days.

13) Write at least 12 letters.

14) Graph monthly spending by category for at least 6 months.

15) Learn 12 songs on the mandolin.

16)Write 60 blog entries, can be any combination of my blogs.

17) Dance.

18) Do 100% of Balancing the Sword Volume 2.

19) Take at least 12 spectacular photographs.

20) Learn a new skill.

21) Get the boys mending completed.

22) Have the big trash hauled off.

23) Reorganize the Christmas ornaments.

24) Try 25 new recipes.
