How I did it: I thought about a lot of the things that had been going on for me at work then set about getting a few things straight. Nothing too heavy, just being honest. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I wanted to draw my own advent calendar thingy. So I did. I pretty much drew a picture a day until I reached 24. And then I stopped. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I thought of things to draw and then I drew them. I have now improved my ability to draw capes, top hats, members of the A-Team, fuzzy-felt shapes, fires, cigars, speech bubbles, skateboards and people running fast. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I finally realised that I was unthinkingly putting the TV on as soon as I got home and keeping it on 'til late. I set myself some limits, alongside the the other stuff in the goal title and tried it out.Part 1. Done. Once I consciously chose (or not) to leave the TV off, it was surprisingly easy. Which made part three of the goal a lot easier too.Part 2. Not done. Not as successful, but my target was 2 out of 3 and I found a l… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Read it. Posted it as a goal. Mentioned DQ during conversations about books and stuff. It's a _big_ book, so it's not going to be for everyone. But I hope they did enjoy it as much as I did. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I listed this as a goal, without any intention of doing much with it for a long time. It just sat there for a while before I couldn't ignore it any longer. So I phoned up and booked a trial lesson. Nothing taxing here.I thought I might get scared once we were ready to go, but fortunately my excitement defeated my cowardly instincts.It was just fantastic. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Er...I thought of songs that summed me up in some way. Listed 'em, then thought about which one said it best. The winner was (Far from) home by Tiga. Easy.I tried to be clever and insert a link to the video but it wouldn't work. So here is the full, rather ugly looking link if you're actually interested.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfJ8prhLbtQ Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was embarrassingly easy. I started by thinking of things I used to say when I was a child and then I started saying them with my adult mouth. It took a while to become a habit, but now I can say without fear of contradiction that I am the coolest kid in my office - and if anyone disagrees then I will tell my dad. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just can't lie to you guys, I feel like such a fraud. Although I did succeed in not watching 'Soccer Dog', I am afraid it was not due to my superhuman reserves of willpower.No, I actually cracked. I just had to see it and I cracked. And do you know what? It was really rubbish. Seriously. How can a film about a dog that is good at 'soccer', who ends up playing for a team whose players all have fa… Read how I did it…
How I did it: After a previous failed attempt I decided to buy myself some weighing scales because accurate measurement is apparently quite important when it comes to baking. Aside from that, I just followed a recipe on the back of a packet of flour. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well first of all, it was very important to finish 4th in the school sports day high-jump event or I would never have been able to reminisce about it. Secondly, in order to be funny enough for me to laugh about it 20 years later it was also crucial for me to be very small for my age and rubbish at high-jump.So let's head back to 1988 and see how I did it...There was huge anticipation in the sports hall that day and the meticulous (l… Read how I did it…
