One thing I started doing years ago with birding was moon challenges. Essentially, I would set a goal for each moon cycle. New Moon to New Moon. This really helps to support my year long goals. It keeps me from falling into a rut, by changing things up each month.
I went head and set moon goals for the entire year. However, one thing I like about moon goals is the flexibility. I can change them as the year progresses to match my interests or my goal needs. Below are my moon goals for this year.
Check marks indicate the months that I completed my challenge.
