Which typically has 25 spaces, with one of those being a free space.
Create a BINGO card with up to 24 goals.
This card can be digital or physical.
TOOLS
There are tools online where you can fill in a bingo card and have it randomize for you. I’ve been looking at this one, which allows you to randomize just column-by-column if you want. So you can have a column be a category of goals.
RULES
One card per person.
Goals on the board must be completed after January 1st 2025 and before January 1st 2026.
You can join/complete your cards at any time in 2025.
If something happens outside your control that makes it impossible/bad to complete a goal, change it. No restrictions, no hard feelings. Just don’t run a marathon with a broken foot because of this challenge, okay?
Please do not critique the goals of others and offer advice only if solicited.
Goal-Making Guidelines
Goals don’t all have to be huge. Be kind to yourself. Have fun. Put “pick my nose” and “pet the cat” in there with “get a new job” and “buy a house” if you want.
Consider that some goals like “don’t do x all year” or “do x every week for the whole year” can’t be officially finished until the end of the year. These aren’t prohibited, just keep in mind it could make getting BINGO before Dec. 31st harder.
Okay. So “over Christmas” was today. Here’s my plan for 2025. Lots of finishing to do! (First Bingo card was too hard to read, so I developed this one on my own.)

24! Too tired to put it into a board right now, but will revisit the list in a couple days and make sure nothing needs to get changed before putting in a board.
I thought I’d give full disclosure here. I’ve already started a lot of the projects or goals on my BINGO card. I’ve marked the started ones or paid for ones (Workshop Week) in yellow.
I copied goals I didn’t meet in 2023 that still apply, added some new ones and had to scramble to find the last 3 which is why some look odd(er). I kept going back to the 2023 one on my desktop to see if I could finish another goal, so I assume I’ll do the same here.
All right, Bingo 2025 below. Some of them, mostly house related, are things I started in 2024 and didn’t finish (or didn’t start at all), but since they still need to get done they’re sticking around. And one got finished this morning.
Nothing like adding more to my plate! Yellow indicates started. Green indicates done. Red (which I hope to not see this year) indicates goal abandoned or not achieved.
Three boxes checked off this month!
(Also getting other random things done as procrastination because there are some things on here I really don’t wanna do lol)
Here’s my plan for 2025. Lots of finishing to do! (First Bingo card was too hard to read, so I developed this one on my own.)
