How I did it: I was working at an event and my co-workers and I had to scan the tickets and give the people their wristbands and stuff, so we didn't really have anything to do but wait till they could go in. When I arrived, one collegue had been saying someone should start the wave, but no one did. Then another colleague/friend of mine told me to get on one of the table rows (they were there to separate the queues) and check out how big the crowd was. … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'd never really been cap person, but I kept stealing my friends' whenever they wore one, so I thought it was time I got one for myself so I wouldn't keep pissing them off. :DAs always I couldn't decide. What color(s)? What brand? What bla? What something? But then I saw it. It was gorgeous, but I didn't buy it. The next day I went to the same store with some people, but I was a bit broke, so I still didn't buy it. I kept saying how badly… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I needed a backpack that was big enough for my 17" laptop and had features to carry my skateboard at the same time. Most skateboard carriers, if they have a laptopthingy at all, are for 15" max. So it was quite a search to find one that was big enough ánd didn't look awful. I did finally get one though! Dakine AC Series Covert. I do dislike how large it is sometimes, but it's eased my need to carry my laptop and/or skateboard, so I may no… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got one for my birthday. I was completely surprised to get anything at all, let alone a laptop! I've wanted one for as long as I can remember and it really is everything I hoped for! :D I do pretty much everything on this thing. I lubbbbb it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Check the last 6 entries here and you'll see about everything of how I did it. But to turn it into a proper how to; First I had to dream; think of what I wanted to do with my life if there were no boundaries, obstacles or variables to consider (like people, money, distance etc.). Then I just started googling and consulted fora and websites with good information about studies (and schools). I looked for studies that provide what I need to … Read how I did it…
How I did it: At first I thought this was about knowing what to do every day, so I tried making schedules. That never worked for me. There were too many things I wanted to do; too many variables to ever make a simple schedule for me. I also tried generally categorizing them for myself in a .doc. Then I'd pick some goals I wanted to work on (a few less than 43, so there was room to a goal add anytime). That didn't work for me either, because most of the… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, I checked all my goals and picked out the ones I wanted to have finished in one year. I noted those goals and used the reminder function of 43 things. I set it to have a reminder sent to myself every day and I titled all of my reminders in the same way ('Imagine...') so I would at least click them, to see which one is which. The first line of the reminder was how many months I had left and I'd edit that every month or so. Trust me, … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'm incredibly happy that I can say I am done with this goal. I will still have struggles and I will get mad sometimes, but I've let things of the past go. I hope I'll never hold anger inside again. It feels awful and it never brings any good. I've learned to communicate and to take the high road. To me, peace, love and happiness are more important than my ego and my pride. Of course, sometimes a message needs to come across and principle… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had slept on the floor many times before I made this a goal. I also stopped using my bed frame a long time ago. But after I had set it as a goal, I just didn't get to it. I finally decided to do it. And it hurt. A few years ago it was really warm in the summer and I simply couldn't bare my mattress. So, unzipped my sleeping bag and spread it out on the floor for me to lie on. The windows went wide open, so still used my soft blanket. An… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had to sign up if I wanted to win a tour through a school I'm interested in. I had to give my email, phone number and name of course. You also had to accept the newsletter or something, but I didn't mind. I had completely forgotten about it when I got the call. I won a VIP tour, a lunch for 2 (in the school) and a goodiebag! The goodiebag is awesome! It has some books in them with pictures and other work from their students (it's an art… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used to hate bananas because I couldn't peel them. The top would always get crushed and mushy. I didn't like that at all. The strings I could tolerate, but it's better without, right? I had read it a few times before, but at first I didn't get what people meant with "removing the black 'cap'". That stuff just got stuck in my nails and the banana didn't peel! But apparently you have to peel a little bit of the yellow peel as well. That w… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was bored and felt like mixing things up a little. Having my daily bowl of cereal, I simply decided to eat it with a big ladle. My friend told me that if I could eat it without spilling I would truly be a ninja. Though awkward to get the cereal in my mouth, once I got the hang of it, it was much more practical than a regular spoon. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I waited till they were dry on top. Then I quickly tilted the frying pan left and right so the sides would come loose. The bottom shouldn't be sticking to the pan. I shuffled the pan back and forth to get the pancake in a good position to flip it. I don't know how to explain this, I just did it by the feel of it. Shoving it to the outer side (away from you) works best I guess. I quickly lifted and flicked the pan (towards my… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I ehm, actually just waited around. XD And then gypsyroad came along!We jumped onto our flying coyotes who brought us to to the hanggliders. We glid? glode? glided through the air and landed on Bruce Wayne's house. As we snuck into the Batcave, we conquered viking pirates and creepy bugs all over the walls. Including Spiderman.Once in the basement of this middle aged man's parents, we started messing around with the butlerdude. We made hi… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had been looking for ways to live healthier, but I've never liked the whole 'calories' thing. It makes no sense to me anyway. I've looked online, subscribed to a million mailing lists and sites, thinking they were all good and provided honest information and recipes. Well, I was wrong. For the most part at least. But lucky, lucky me: there was a gem in the pile! I hadn't even subscribed to them for that issue! I think I found it last ye… Read how I did it…
How I did it: One day I realized I had lost the limberness I used to have a few years before that day. I decided I wanted it back, so I started doing simple little stretches. While looking online for stretches and ways to become more flexible easier/faster, I came across contortion. This motivated me so much, that now I'm more flexible than I was before and I'm planning to keep stretching and to get even more flexible! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was sleeping over at my cousins with my brother and some other cousins. We had breakfast and everyone was using knife and fork. I had no idea how to, so my cousin showed me: - hold them in your fists, with the heads up- stick out your index fingers and put them on the handle/neck of the cutlery- shove the fork in your food and cut around it with the knife!

How I did it: I was just walking through the park at the first snowy weekend-day in years. I felt kinda lonely, but I didn't want to go home yet, so I looked for people standing alone. There weren't many and if there were, they didn't really look inviting or anything. When I was almost at the exit of the park, I saw a guy messing with his camera. I asked him if the photo's were any good. We ended up walking another round in the park and then both going… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just became more open, this just happened to become one of my 'things'. Having other people get to know me, got me more friends in no time. The ones that were like me, naturally stuck by more easily. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I actually did that test yesterday and didn't know it was the Myer-Briggs test. I forgot what I had, so I checked where people on here did it. I went to http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html and took all four tests under 'Jung tests'. The first one said ENTP and I remembered I got that yesterday too. I wanted to check if I'd get the same result and I did. It was quite easy and really fun to do. To find out through five tests and … Read how I did it…
