27 Things To Do While 27 Years Old
In the spirit of some other goal or accomplishment structures I’ve seen, like the 19 for 2019 or 20 in 2020, I’m putting together a “27 while 27” list for myself. This isn’t a set-in-stone list of goals, just a list of things I’d like to do or experience while I’m in my 27th year.
And yes, I’m drawing from previous lists! I’m also allowing overlap with other current goals.
I’m drawing some inspiration from the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast, where I first heard about these ideas and liked some of the examples people came up with.

Actions, Not Results?
I’ve heard Gretchen Rubin say to focus on actions, not results, because actions are what drive our results. But I also think it’s important to understand what I want the result to be, and work backward from there to know what actions I should be taking on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to actually achieve that result.
Have you ever tried a goals list like this? I’d love to hear about it.
