WHAT: Document how I'm doing with this 101 in 1001 thing.

WHY: Accountability, especially to myself. To force myself to go through the list at least 25 times so that I know my goals back and forward, allowing me to reevaluate the goals as I go and see how much I'm actually accomplishing (which is generally more than I had realized).

HOW: This ( Read more... )

I'm adding some progress tracking to my sidebar. Figured I should explain what all these numbers mean. These stats will only be updated when I remember... which, hopefully, will be every time I post ( Read more... )

Still here, I swear! Because it's been a while, it might be difficult for me to actually figure out what I've done since the last post, so I may take a different approach to this update. There are a couple items of note before I get to that, though.

First, I started using SuperBetter recently after watching this TED talk, and it focuses on doing ( Read more... )

Finally finished my reworking of the goals that I felt were poorly defined or no longer of interest to me. The list on the left has been updated, though older entries will continue to refer to those now-irrelevant goals. As I make those goal-relevant posts, I may mention what they once were.

That's it for now. Update pending.

WHAT: Add 101 goals to the list.

WHY: Every list needs a gimme. Also, I wanted to make sure that I actually completed the list, even if I had to go back and revise goals later. I wanted to have a full list in place so that I could get started.

HOW: I made a spreadsheet!

STATUS: Complete. The list has 101 items. I'm not entirely happy with all of the ( Read more... )

Number 100 had previously been about dividing each goal into individual subtasks, but I'd made poor progress on it. There was a good idea there, but it wasn't what I needed.

WHAT: Write a detailed journal entry for each list item. Document what the goal is, why it is important to me and how I intend to achieve it in as much detail as possible.

WHY:  ( Read more... )

I know that I've got this list maintained way too many places. It started in a spreadsheet, which I still have, though I don't open it up very often anymore. From there, I input everything into Remember the Milk, thinking it would be the most useful tool for keeping track of my progress. But then Day Zero Project got its site issues resolved, so I ( Read more... )

You may have noticed my complete and utter absence. It's been an interesting few months. Finally have the list resituated, and I'm going to take another stab at it starting on Friday. While I tend to prefer starting on Mondays, I realized that if I start on a Friday, I also end on a Friday. I liked the idea of that. I like being able to plan on ( Read more... )

So, as you may have notice, this first attempt didn't actually, ehm, work. I know precisely why. I started reevaluating some of my goals and determined that I would need to go through and change some of them and gave my time to do so. Except... I didn't do so. So, when those two weeks were up, I was both out of the habit of checking on stuff and ( Read more... )

Possibilities for things to replace a few of the items I'm thinking about nixing:

• Watch x TED talks (or equivalent videos of inspirational and educational value) [per month?].
• Answer some questions like these which are self-exploratory (or, at the very least, explanatory). Not sure I like this particular list, but it's one I've seen on others' ( Read more... )
