This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "self goals" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Farnicaas Switcher Capitalisation - ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "setting goals and time management" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Conoah Goalify Gotchie - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
Yep, I'm now now that far away from turning 30, so it was time to check in with my list of goals again. Do you have a list? Let me know what's on it! I need some inspiration. :)
booksandquills Just a couple from the top of my head. 1) Visit a few more cities in Eastern Europe have just come back from a trip in Prague with friends which was great thinking of going Budapest/Krakow next year sometime. 2) Be an extra in a TV programme. 3) Ascend Snowden and Scafell Pike the two tallest summits in England & Wales.
I don't know if this can inspire you. But i am a moroccan, 26 years old men, i have lost 7 years at the uni (Italian literature), i live in a dictatorship where the readers are a minority and i am a newbie Book Vlogger hahah so it's hard to find RU-vidrs to collab with.. I struggle with Stuttering and anxiety disorder and i have just write my 30 before 30 a few minutes ago. So i will start. *i know may be my comment will seems strange but i really want to share this here.. i feel it's a safe place. Good luck.
I'm 23 and terrified of my 30s so I think making a list like this could help! Also you should make a "awesome things i've done and achieved before i turned 30" list and include the things you didn't think could do and did!
I am watching this at work and said out loud "AAWWWWW" about kissing in the rain. This was great. I'm so proud of you! Let's go to Iceland and see the Northern Lights PLEASE. Also I'll watch some old films with you. Well done to our past selves for setting goals!
I write a letter to myself every first day of January with my expectations and wishes for the new year. It's always so much fun to read it after a year! Oh and by the way, dankjewel Sanne for being so inspirational! I launched my English channel today after posting video's in Dutch for almost three years. ♡
Taking control of your life is the *KEY* to happiness and success. We all start somewhere, whether that be at the bottom or with a little help. Ultimately your potential is determined by your habits, which will *DEFINE* Who you are and what mark you leave on earth.
Sanne! I am a 22 year old sitting in my bedroom in the Netherlands and this is SO INSPIRING! I really want to do a list like that. I used to have one similar, and it was a lot of fun to go back to it a few years after I wrote and discover that I had been able to check some really big goals, as well as realize that a lot of the goals I wrote down I simply did not aspire to ever get done! It's inspiring, and fun to see how we change.
If you want to get on journaling, I find it really helpful to just write three full pages whenever I journal, if they are 'low quaity' or not. I don't know why, but that really helps me get itt done.
The thing is: I do, remember that video! (I say as I'm about to write down a 5 year plan because I'm turning 20 in two weeks, and darn it I'll try to avoid that quarterlife crisis at all costs.)
Oh right now the list is a bit of shambles, though there's one thing I'm set on: I started uni last year, so I'd want to be done with my Master's at 25. Yay for Austrian Uni-Systems!
oh heck yes I love bucket lists. I love the types of things you have on your list, too, they're all very much you. I feel like when I was younger and I'd written lists of things I wanted to do before I die, they ended up so general, like the "general bucket list" stuff. It's stuff I thought I should want to do, not necessarily what I actually wanted to do. But I find this so inspiring! I think I'd love to do something similar to this, because I love that you're able to look back at that video and have a tangible look at everything you've accomplished over these past few years. How freaking cool!
I’ve started a list of things I’d love to do in my life without a certain end point. I started compiling that list when I was 16. I’m 23 now and even though I haven’t archived too many goals yet, it is still amazing to me how little some of my goals have changed. Though some “goals” still seem very far out of reach, like having a chat with certain celebrities or being a participant on dancing with the stars (2 problem: 1. I’m not famous, 2. I don’t live in the States), but I guess you never know what the future will bring.
I did make a list, not a clue where it is, might even have been a 'things to do in my entire life', but I know I've not done anything on that list... I can't even think of making a new list, just the thought fills me with dread and inadequacy 🙈 Your movie and Shakespeare goals! Set a night of the week for 'movie night'. As for Shakespeare, Ben Crystal has written some great books about the Bard that will help with the language if needs be, otherwise I recommend either reading it aloud to yourself or doing a read through with friends - they are plays after all!
i am 22 right now so i will definitely be making a list like this right now. things i want to include are to basically travel as much as i can (which is already more than i ever hoped for and i feel really grateful and happy about that), to travel to another continent which i haven't done yet and to live abroad for more than a year.
I have been here since 2011, you couldn't be more right about how priorities change with time and experience. I recently made a '21 things before 21' list! I've got 4 months to go!
LitttleMisssSmidge Ah! So exciting. To have lived it and get to reflect back so soon! Thinking of making a similar list myself this winter.. good luck with your goals :)
Hi Sanne, if you want to see something cool in The Netherlands. I would suggest you visit Gemert (near Eindhoven), they're a village with city rights, a castle and a serious farmers museum. I loved going there when I was younger. They do all kinds of stuff at the museum. But I have also lived around there most of my life. Now I am getting ready to leave The Netherlands for my Irish move and am doing all these silly things in The Netherlands, just so I can say I did them ;) Have fun.
I learned all the states in alphabetical order as something to do while I was bored at work when there were few customers, so I have some tips! Granted, I do have an advantage because I grew up in the states and there was a map of the US in pretty much every classroom in my childhood. But what I did was look up all the states online at home, categorize each state by it's letter, and then go through the alphabet in my head letter by letter. So for instance, I remembered that there are four states that start with A, zero start with B, three start with C, etc. all through the alphabet. That way it's not super intimidating to try and cram 50 bits of information in your head at once and hope it sticks, and since you already have the alphabet down, it comes natural. I hope that helped and made sense!
I never made a 30 before 30 list - and I turned 30 in October so too late now haha. But I did want to do something this year that was fun and challenging to celebrate turning 30. I just finished a 6-day cycle in New Zealand (where I live) called the Alps 2 Ocean. I'm no cyclist and stupidly didn't do any training beforehand. It was definitely challenging but I did it! Amazing what you can do when you just keep going.
Wow, this is actually really inspiring. I am 21 years old and I never really thought about or I kind of lost the will to think about major life goals. Thank you so much for the inspiration ☺️
It’s somewhere sweet in between inspiring and reassuring to see how your priorities changed and which goals you achieved! Thanks for sharing, to ever changing and growing lists...
Ahh I love lists and goals so this video was awesome. I actually make a "birthday bucketlist" every year, with new things I want to try. Next year I'm turning 24 so when I turned 23 I made a list called "24 new things before 24". I think I got the idea from a blog I used to read, but you basically make sure that there's very small items on the list for the most part (like: read a book by *author you've never read work from before*) and then a few things that might take you a bit more time (like: learn to spit fire, haha not an actual item on my list). Anyway, I think maybe I'll make a 30 things before 30 list too, sometime soon, so I can have some larger life goals on it instead of just new stuff I want to do/try once. :) Maybe I'll even make a video of it!
I remember having a goal of wanting to write (and maybe even publish?) a book by the time I was 20. I'm now 22 and have JUST finished the first draft of my first ever novel. Better late than never, I guess! Slightly unrelated (though you did briefly mention it in the video), but how come your accent has changed? I'm Greek, but live in Sweden, and I find that pretty much the majority of people here start speaking English with an American accent, and I found it very interesting that you said you used to have a British accent!
So interesting that you just posted this video because I was just making my own 30 before 30 in 30 days 😊. I turn 30 at the end of December and want to push myself to do some larger goals and some simpler tasks before I hit that milestone and this video gave me some more inspiration! I now also want to take some time to write out the things I have achieved that I didn’t expect to when I was younger as you did! Fantastic video and wonderful achievements Sanne!
dont know why but this video made me so emotional. I'm 19 and feeling so overwhelmed by how much life there is ahead, after knowing the places you've visited and things you've accomplished :')
Nisa Sykes I feel the same way. time flies but it’s a great ride at the end of it looking back. Personally trying to let that feeling pull me into new experiences and places of thought and gratitude 🙏🏽
Just turned 29 this week and posted a 30 before 30 vlog. Hadn't made a list before, but I'd imagine if I had I'd be in a similar situation to you where I'd have ticked off a few and no longer cared about some others. First thing on my list now is start vlogging and to be consistent with it so fingers crossed I keep at it.
I really love how relaxed you are about changing priorities! Also the stuff you achieved that wasn't even on your list is very cool :) I am turning 26 soon and this past year hasn't been very exciting, because I didn't have any goal in sight except getting into a masters program (which is cool, but wasn't very difficult because of where I am and the field isn't very popular ;D). I think ( I hope) making a list like this and having it somewhere I can see it regularly would help me become more active and thus being able to think back on passing years fondly and not with anxiety.
This video is so encouraging and inspiring for me! I'm only 19 but it's great to see your goals and what you've achieved and how you can see yourself changing in these years!
For reading Shakespeare in a rush, I would recommend watching an unabridged production on video and follow along with the text. That helped me with some stressful times in my English major. I think you would love the Taming of the Shrew for all the juicy feminist content. Thank you for sharing!
For the journal thing, you should check out Field Notes because they're so small they're way easier to fill! Also they're the best notebooks in the world, and also I am biased.
For the dress up one look at the national trust. When I was there in 2015 Lime house had an option to dress up and I'm sure there are tonnes of Austen dress ups in Bath.
I remember your old videos about this so it was really cool to check in on the list again. I liked, that you added the things you didn't think of but that happened. This video couldn't come at a better time in my life, I'm just out of university and I want to move to Japan in a few month so a 30 before 30 list should be the perfect tool to reflect and think about what I want to do from now on. I'm 24 so I got 6 years left! Also, how come your accent has changed to an American accent in London? Is it because of your friends?
This is such a great idea. Before my current blog, I had a blog which I hope is buried somewhere far in the depths of the internet where I would talk about semi-personal things. Nothing really bad or anything that if someone unearthed the blog it would make me too embarrassed or anything, however, if no one ever saw it again I would be fine. Anyways, I had on there a list of things I wanted to do in 2016. Some things were small and kind of stupid while other things were life goals or things I wanted to do with my blog. Well, I never really got around to doing anything on the list, but some of my blog goals can still apply to my new blog so I might give them a go this year. Wait, I just remembered something I do that is similar to this. Every New Year's Eve I have a pity party for one because I am not huge on celebrating the holiday. I turn on New Year's Eve (you know that movie with all of the celebrities that isn't very good but I still like it) and crack open Pinterest. I have this board on my Pinterest dedicated to all of the things I want to do in the future when I actually have money to do it and every New Year's Eve I find new things I want to do and Pin them in hopes that I will one day do them and my life will not suck as much. It sounds pretty depressing and it is but it actually makes me pretty happy.
Something we have to do for my Chaucer class is to recite the first 18 lines of the General Prologue with as correct pronunciation as we can. It's a fun party trick, and not too hard. I have lines 1-8 so far, and I'm so excited to get it done. You're completely right, though. The biggest awe inspiring moments are usually not planned.
You're almost 29?! Man I swear I was watching when you first made this list wow I've been here a while! This is a great list, I hope you can tick off some more soon! :D
Awesome! I've given me an idea :) I like how you acknowledged the fact that things and priorities change over the years, so the list should change as well :)
You should do a proper highlands tour! Although Glen Coe is the real highlight you should have on the list! Loch Ness really is just a loch. A very famous loch though. You can visit both places in a one day bus tour :D
JustMe completely agree with this! Boo to Loch Ness, hurrah for Glencoe and Rannoch Moor (drove past both yesterday so feeling like an authority on it 😂)
I loved this! I've just turned 24 so I think I should get going on creating and fulfilling my list! I'll definitely be adding a couple of these on to my list too :)
I recently (like a week ago) started making a bucket list! It was going to be a 30 before 30 but I'm 24 and having a time limit stresses me out somewhat. So now I'm just working on a bucket list of 30 things I want to do :)
Amazing 🙌😍, 9 years more I am 30😭. Crying because I don't have any plans yet. I have reasons of wanting this and that but don't know how to reach them 😬😔
To dress up as a Jane Austen character, check if you can be an extra on TV series !! It's super fun + not that hard to get into + you'll have the whole set changed to look like the 19th century :)
I also never considered myself a person to fill an entire journal, but then after I finished my journal I got at 7 at 16, I got another one in february and surprisingly there are now only a few pages left! ...II guess the journal fever hit me this past year, so it is possible, guys!
Read the description : I'm not going to link the old videos because they're embarrassing but they're on my channel if you want to hunt them down LET THE HUNT BEGIN
If it makes you feel better, I can't name all the American presidents or all 50 states (at least not without writing the states down) and I live in America. lol I grew up riding thanks to my parents breeding and raising Shetland ponies and Shetland pony crosses. I want to make one of these lists, but I don't think I can come up with 30 things to do before I turn 30. Not when I'm already 27 and only have a little over two years before I turn 30. Interesting idea though and something I might still do. I might be able to come up with a 20 before 2020 list actually. Now I kinda want to attempt this...
For learning the American presidents there's a really catchy song by the cartoon the Animaniacs!! definitely on youtube. It's out of date but there are only a few recent presidents since. :)
Love this! I don't think I ever made a list like this though I may have written some letters to myself and I started a vision board on Pinterest... But it's interesting to look back a the things we achieved and whether or not we would have thought that at a younger age. I know I wanted to live, study and work abroad and I've achieved all of those things. And I've landed my dream job right after my masters, couldn't hope for better than that.. I'm only 25 though so let's see what the next 5 years will be. I kind of want to make a lists but I also kind of don't because I love the experiences that come with spontanous decisions. Though I have some things in mind like seeing the Northern Lights and getting a tattoo that I've been wanting for a long time now. Q - How did your accent change from British to American while living in London? That seems contradictory lol.
@booksandquills You should check out the Fashion Museum in Bath! They have a really awesome dress up section with some very cool Jane Austen approved dresses :)
Sanne, if you visit Loch Ness and go to a little village called Drumnadrochit (where I am from!) You can take a walk up to the house where J.M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan! I'm not sure that it is that well known but it is a lovely bit up the hill behind the Divach Falls! Let me knoe if you go and I can (attempt) to draw a map!
I made a similar list to Rosianna's after watching her video! Arden Rose incorporates illustration into her videos in a really beautiful way so maybe you should check her out for some inspiration :D thanks for a great video and for being so inspiring!
hey I'm not sure if you've ever watched Kiera Rose's videos, but she often combines drawing and videos (eg. illustrated favourites, etc.), maybe you could watch some of those for inspo, it works really well :)
New Year’s Eve in NYC is soooo over rated. It’s a madhouse and cold and lots of standing for 8+ hours. Do not recommend. Love all the rest of your goals! (I’m American and I just memorized the presidents in order!! Not many here can do it that’s for sure.)
