A few weeks ago, I saw a TikTok about creating a yearly Bingo card. For this creator, a Bingo card was a better way to check off goals and build a solid theme for the year. I decided to take a crack at a Bingo card and share what I put on mine. Hopefully, this will give you some food for thought. After all, it's not too late to start creating your 2025 Bingo card. 1.

It's a new year, and I have a lot of plans! I've had a run of pretty great years (all things considered), and I'm going into this year with a positive mindset.

Feel free to leave your specific goals in the comments below. Fina[...]
So, it's been a while since I've put any real work into The Happy Arkansan. I tried my best to jump right into the action with an informative post that helps millennials thrive, but I've been dealing with a lot, and I think I owe a few explanations.

Things can seem pretty overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to start feeling bogged down and uninspired. If you’re anything like me, Netflix and Hulu are probably your go-tos when you can’t work up the motivation to get anything done. Why not turn a regu[...]
I’ll admit it: I don’t think I met even half of my New Year's resolutions for 2020. Sure, I was able to get some smaller things tackled and taken care of. The current state of the world is making it pretty challenging to check things off my long-term to-do list, though. I know I’m not alone.

December signals the time of year when things settle a bit and work winds down. Most of us have at least some time off from work responsibilities, which means we have to decide what to do with that free time.
