I lot of doing this was put forth with the idea I would create something lasting. It's not terribly effective to start thinking about your legacy when you're 80.
Anyway, I work for an academic institution. At some point, I'm going to get a graduate degree. (It's sort of inevitable. I don't really want one, but it's free and will advance my career and it's mostly free.)
Going back a ways, I have wanted to be a writer for years. I really had the dream in college, and it's faded somewhat, but never really gone away.
I'm capable of writing pretty well. I frequently get asked to edit co-worker's papers. I should be able to produce something.
The thing is, I have no idea what to write. Part of starting this blog was a slightly better way of codifying this goal. It's a baby step. Combining this with writing in my diary might beg me to focus my vision on something and possibly open some doors with whomever I write for. This is a goal that'll take some follow up, but I think I can pull it off in the next 3-1/2 years.
