43Things is a website that recommends a person try to accomplish up to 43 long-term (or short term goals) at a given time. Some goals are big and some are little, anything from reading a particular book to changing the world.
In the interest of consolidation, I will no longer be maintaining my list on that website, and so I'll post it here:
1. Build a mission-focused church for Albany's GLBT community
2. Read 50 books in 2007
3. Potty train my daughter
4. Write a will
5. Go on a mission trip
6. Lose 20 4 pounds
7. Eliminate discrimination based on sexuality from the UMC
8. Delegate more at work
9. Read Atlas Shrugged
10. Attend General Conference
11. Find time to paint
12. Write poetry again
13. Have better posture
14. Love my body
15. Learn italian
16. Work for peace
17. Make poverty history
18. Make a difference in the world
19. Reduce my environmental footprint
20. Write a book and have it published
21. Get a Doctorate
22. Become debt-free
23. Live abroad for a year
24. Visit Jerusalem
25. Realize my secret ambition
26. Win the Nobel Peace Prize
Completed/dropped goals:
1. Read Shane Claiborne's Irresistible Revolution
2. Catch up on "LOST"
3. Visit my grandmother before she dies (did not succeed; now n/a)
4. Read 50 books in 2006 (did not succeed; read 37)
