This time, back for sure. 9 months ago

I have moved and I can now focus on my life.

Lets see what I can get done and what I have gotten done.



Back to 43things in the new year 11 months ago

I find that I actually get more done when I use 43things. That is, I should use 43things. Over the next week I will again be on track to doing and using 43things regularly.



A tip for anybody using MS Word to type entries for 43things. 15 months ago

MS Word replaces straight quotes (“) with smart or angled quotes. Smart quotes are fundamentally different characters and 43things’ system does note recognize them if you are formatting a link like this name.

Screen readers do not note the difference in the characters.

Trust me, this was a pisser.

I need to reorgnize this list. 15 months ago

I haven’t meta tagged very well.
I will by weeks end have figured out what categories each of the goals fits in. I will then thin out the extraneous ones.



There is a neat little problem with this goal, or my life style. 15 months ago

I do not have cable, phone, or data lines connected to my apartment. I don’t have a TV (10+ years now), and I don’t pay for the services. I am getting more done, but the only way I can update my 43things is by having coffee.

This isn’t a problem, it is a bit inconvenient. On the other hand, the walk to the coffee house is worth it. It’s about 2.5 miles to the nearest one, and the round trip walk is good exercise.

In any case; 43things is worth the effort as I get more done.



Useing a PDA to do this today. 21 months ago

I realy can’t do this well from this device. My computer died today. I am restoring it from a backup. It should take about 7 hours to compleat. I use my computer for work. As a media editor, I tend to push my equipment to its limits. Luckely my laptops secondary drive is uncorupted.



I have no Internet access for a bit. 22 months ago

There is a battle in the city I live in. There is a local monopoly on phone service and a local monopoly on cable service. The two are not playing well with each other and from time to time a line gets “accidentally cut”. (At least that was what the last set of technicians told me.)

So there will be no updates until I get service back.



My goal is to write something about each of my goals this week. 22 months ago

If I don’t have a plan to get a goal done by years end, I am removing it from my list.



Nearly 400 entries in a year- not bad. 23 months ago

That works out to a little more than one entry a day.
I am going to keep this goal for 2008.

For now, I am going to thin down my goal list and figure out what are important goals that can be worked on during this next year.

Giving up on goals is difficult, but necessary.
