Learn to throw ball

The truth is that boys throw better than girls.
It doesn't mean that I have to accept I throw like a girl. I can learn. I can get better.

Learn CPR and first aid


I think the best way to do this is to take a course by Red Cross

I basically know already all of this, but I feel a bit uncertain, so it doesn't harm to keep the skills up.

Be fruitarian

There are different ways of being a Fruitarian. This is the common way of seeing it.
Now, to me Fruitarian means eating things that won't kill anything or anyone.
Which doesn't only mean fruit, seeds and nuts, but also milk and eggs.

Record all the books I have ever read in a reading journal

Here's very good information on how to keep a reading journal, but I'm not interested in that... I just want to know how many books I have read and which ones :-D

Learn to make charkuterie





It is actually pretty easy to become a charcutier. You just have to follow a recipe. I am good at following recipes.
The difficulty here is to do it.
On my list a "well defined, realistic goal" is to make my own sausage and serve it on a dinner party to my family.

I suppose the steps here are like with the baking... take a cookbook, start from page 1 and finish in the end.
Top 5 Charcuterie Cookbooks
I have Ruhlman, so I think I'm good.

Know 50 languages when I'm 50

I started this project a loooong time ago.
And didn't do much.
I can't say I did nothing, because I have done. I know some languages, but only Finnish, Swedish and English as well as I want to. Now, I can read several other languages, and I know reading makes my language better, so I'm going to skip this goal, and change it into
Read a book in Russian, French and German

(Now, I could make it "know 50 languages a little by my 50th birthday".. :-D A little - how much? Count in 50 languages? I can do that.)
