You know how much I love a project... and you know I love making lists. Because I wanted to do something special for 2020 I came up with the idea of my "2020 Vision" -- twenty lists of twenty things each. They're a mix of easy and difficult things, but all things I want to get done. And I'm happy to report that I'm doing pretty well for my first month. Sure, some of the lists haven't been started yet. But I feel happy with my progress so far.
Let's start with great news: I've completed one of the lists!
20 Crowns in Duolingo -- completed 1/25/20
I've gotten into the habit of spending 5-10 minutes on Duo practicing Spanish every morning. As of today I've got a 27 crowns and a 26-day streak going. In related news, I've shifted my "Spanish!" task in 101 things in 1001 days from the vague "I've got a Rosetta Stone course" to "Reach checkpoint 2 in Duo".

Now for the "bad" news: I haven't started several of the lists. I say "bad" because I knew some of them wouldn't start until later in the year. Still, full disclosure here.
20 swims. The Ballard Pool should reopen soon; I hope to get at least one swim in in February!
20 sketches. I had originally thought about starting this on February 1; however something else has won that spot! Looking at March for this.
20 paintings. I want to do this mostly in the summer; so we'll try it then. That said, wouldn't it be fun to paint the Northern Lights?
20 embroidery stitches. Just learned that February is National Embroidery Month. (Who knew??? DMC knew.) So I'll work on an embroidery project next month and start my stitch sampler, too.
20 songs on the uke. Sigh. I miss playing. Not sure why I can't seem to make myself pick it up again!
20 new things in my portfolio. I've actually produced some things I'm really proud of this month at work; I just need to document them and add them to my portfolio.
20 Thames Path posts. I will start writing these in February -- they'll start publishing in March!
20 hours volunteered. I'm going to pick a race to volunteer at with the Magnuson Series as a kick start; though that race probably won't be till March.
And now for the "works in progress" -- these make me feel like I'm getting stuff done!

Did you set goals for 2020? How are they going? We'll see if I can keep moving forward!
