How I did it: Finally stop procrastinating on this goal and looked up some websites that buy damaged laptops (Mine had a sightly damaged screen).A few emails later, someone came and picked it up from my work and I got £20 for it Read how I did it…
How I did it: Stopped buying and lighting up cigarettes.I had been smoking for about 13 years and was planning to quit during 2010. I bought Allen Carr's book "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" and managed to quit for 3 days (don't get my wrong, the book is really good, I still recommend it).Anyway, I decided to "wait for a better/more convienent time" to quit. Almost a year later, I was still trying to find the best time to quit. I was on holiday in Spain on … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was with my boyfriend and it started to rain lightly. As we were going down the escalators to the metro I told him I've always wanted to kiss in the rain and we should do it one day. He turned around and kissed me and said 'There we've done it!' Despite it being a short kiss, it was still really sweet :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: Went to a couple of yoga classes a week, including Hatha yoga, restorative yoga, yoga for stress and dynamic yoga.I enjoyed the Hatha yoga classes the most and signed up for a 6 week beginner course. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have been asking friends to teach me, but it just never happened. I searched on the internet and actually found some places that teach adult beginners! I couldn't believe it! Turns out my local borough subsidises the lesson (part of the get London to cycle thing). I made an appointment and went.The instructor was very helpful and supportive. Within 30 minutes I was steadily riding by myself. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I had seen this goal on other people's list but I didn't know what it was, so I went to the website:"Kiva's mission is to connect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva empowers individuals to lend to an entrepreneur across the globe. By combining microfinance with the internet, Kiva is creating a global community of people connected through lending." Great idea! I joined up, chose a few entreprenuers to lend t… Read how I did it…
How I did it: There's a small independent cinema up the road that I've never been to. I found a movie I wanted to watch (Another Year) and booked my ticket online (half price on Mondays) and went this morning. Bought a small popcorn and a drink and went inside. To my surprise the cinema was almost full, maybe 5 seats left and was occupied by mostly mums and their babies. There were strollers lined up on the side at up the front and babies were cry… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Although I said I was going to mark this as complete when I got my glasses, that hasn't happened yet. So back to the orginal goal, yes I have taken my contacts out every night(except when I was on the plane and I think one other night).Nothing amazing, just took my contacts out before I went to sleep. Having this on my 43T list reminded me to do it and there were even times where I forgot but would suddenly remember when I was in bed and … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I recorded a class from tv (Pure relaxation) which I did each night before I went to sleep. As I had been having trouble falling and staying asleep, I found it really helped a lot.I started getting a little bored of the same video and found some websites on 43T which have a lot more variety. I am using this at least once a day now and have found I'm not worrying about things so much. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I opened my CV and started to write! It wasn't going to be hard, just one of those things that I have been putting off. Today is my first day back from my holiday and it was the first thing I did (at 7am!)I used the written reference my old manager gave me to reword tasks and included tasks I even forgot about! Sent it to my recruitment agency and he called me straight away and we're going to meet tomorrow for a coffee and chat.Glad to ge… Read how I did it…
