post entries about my goals (read all 3 entries…)
I will start here 3 years ago

I was very much inspired to set up my lists here at 43Things, places et al. I did it quickly and I could because I already kept lists of my own so it was just a matter of transferring data. I even had a list of my “wins”. As you can see I have a love of lists.

I was a little dismayed to see that everything I have captured as a “win” here has been marked completed in October 2006. How wrong is that? Like I did 80 some odd things in one month.

At first I thought that maybe I shouldn’t have listed them. Maybe it starts “from this day forward” or something. But then I decided that it can’t be set up that way. This site is set up so that people trying to accomplish a particular goal can find others who have already reached it and learn from them or their mistakes.

So I guess I’ll just figure that October 2006 was my implementation date and the data is a little skewed. I hate data integrity issues.

Anyway. Because I implemented so quickly I did not write any entries. That changes right…NOW!

Comments:

JulieJordanScott is continually setting odd goals that need translation for many people

I look forward to reading!

I enjoy writing my own entries, I think you will, too…(hey, I joined NaNoWriMo, too, for my first time, this year.)

madamwitty is waaay too busy for 43T lately

Another reason

to write entries for your goals is so that people can make comments on them. It’s pretty much the only way you can get unsolicited advice on 43T. Of course, I hate unsolicited advice (I always get defensive about it, for some reason) but I know it’s good for me :-)

I, too, am annoyed at the fact that goals are considered completed when you hit the ‘I’ve done this’ button. But that’s just me being a total control freak. At least AllConsuming lets you say when you actually finished consuming a particular item.
