Royce's 30 by 30 List

Personal Development (These are goals that will development me personally, either physically, emotionally, personality, or in some other sense:


1) Read 30 books. At least one classic fiction, one non-fiction, one biography or autobiography, one LDS fiction, and at least one LDS non-fiction. All being separate books and not counting in more than one of those categories.

2) Be in a play or at least try out for one. (I modified this goal it was originally 3 try outs, but most auditions I've noticed require you to sing 16 bars of music which I have no talent in doing!).

3) Give at least $30 in at least $5 (Changed from $1 to avoid the charities not getting anything due to processing fees) increments to 6 (changed from 30) new charitable organizations (as in ones I've not heard of before or donated to before).


4) Get my CPA.

5) Work out at least once a week for at least one month.

6) Get LASIK

7) Jump from a high dive. It doesn't necessarily have to be off an actual high dive, I suppose it could be from a high cliff or something like that.

8) Do something semi-dangerous (yet to be determined). Something Heather doesn't immediately approve of like flying a plane or helicopter, sky diving, bungee jumping, hiking angel's landing. Also Amy Fitzgibbons has to approve it thus making Heather approve of it (also a new year's resolution).

Spiritual Development(goals that will develop me spiritually):

9) Have a child (if possible).

10) Read/study "Preach My Gospel."

11) Bare my testimony in fast and testimony meeting while successfully fasting at least once.

12) Write in my journal at least once a week for at least one month in a row.

13) Attend the temple at least once a month for at least 3 months in a row.

14) Begin Volunterring (I've modified this goal from Volunteer at least 30 hours in a year to some good organization as volunteer organizations never get back to you).

Just For Fun (self explanatory, but probably the biggest portion of this 30 by 30 list):

15) Get a set of golf clubs and go golfing 3 times (9 holes) or 1.5 times (an 18 hole time and a 9 hole time) or 6 times (driving range), or 12 times (mini-golfing) or a combination of these counting up to the equivalent of going golfing 3 times at a 9 hole course. If I accomplish this before I'm 29, do it again before 30 (the golfing part not the buying the clubs part).

16) Watch 30 new films and 30 old films (from the time I posted the original blog post about my 30 by 30).

17) Go sailing.

18) Go to Cherry Hill Water Park. (I've modified this goal. It use to be I would need to go with Heather and the Register's, but due to agency I can not force people to go).

19) Go on a wave-runner.

20) See Arches National Park (preferably hike to the arches).

21) Travel abroad (as in internationally).

22) Take Heather to Hawaii.

23) Go to club 33. To accomplish this goal Ryan Fitzgibbons has to be there.

24) Eat something that's cool that's fried (like a fried snickers bar, Twinkie, a Smore, or something like that).

25) Have an 11/11/11 party. Save the date, you are all invited.

Financial Goals:

26) Buy life insurance.

27) Pay off a student loan.

28) Invest short and long term.

General Goals (goals that don't quite fit elsewhere):

29) Help a hitchhiker.

30) Successfully grow tomatoes.
