Life List Inspiration from Go Mighty

I’m really proud of the growing sense of community over on Go Mighty. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to load up your life list and share your experiences. Reading them is a daily source of inspiration and, after 12 years of writing here about my life list and all of the support I have received, it’s a joy to finally have the opportunity to read more about your goals and cheer you on.

Here are a few favorites from the week:

I shared my thoughts in the comments on this one. I cannot recommend this enough. It will transform your wardrobe.

I love this unique way to preserve a memory.

It’s never too late to become a ballerina.

This story prompted me to add a new goal to my life list. Good luck, Jessica. You’ve got this.

Team Project! Own Less Crap

I’ve been spending way too much time straightening, and dusting, and sorting junk I don’t even want to own anymore. In 2013, I resolved to own less crap, and I suspect a few of you probably feel the same way. Let’s be honest, are we ever going to read those 78 back issues of the New Yorker?

So! The team at Go Mighty partnered with Bing to provide a little incentive.

Over the next four weeks, Team Mighty will be selecting twenty people who add “get organized” to their life list on Go Mighty. Those folks will receive a $100 gift card to The Container Store courtesy of the folks at Bing. And! For every person who organizes their space, donates the things they can no longer use, and shares their story on the site, Bing will give $20 to Habitat for Humanity up to $2,000!

That means we need at least 100 of you to clean out your junk drawers, junk closets, and junk rooms (no judgement). To enter to win and help raise money for Habitat, just tag your goals and stories “Go Bing” and “Mighty Organized.”

Let’s do it. What are you getting rid of first?
