muller’s bucket list

I love lists. I'm often found rummaging through old notebooks to find lists that I never completed so I can add them to new ones. Rediscovering inspiration in worn notebooks is an adventure in itself.

I am much more likely to get things done when I write them down, so in the spirit of getting things done; here is my ever increasing and very transparent list of things I want to complete. If I do it, I'll tick it and hopefully hyperlink you to a blog post all about it! I'll also back date the list with previous goals and as much information as I can about how I achieved them, in case you'd like to do similar.

Here's hoping that these dreams of mine give you a nudge of inspiration for your own, and if you have any ideas to share with me then send them over! I can't wait to hear them.
