How I did it
How to watch 50 movies in 2009
It took me
10 months
It made me
Less bored.

How I did it: I just watched films whenever i had nothing else to do. I am unemployed so i have alot of time on my hands. I really enjoyed watching all the movies - especially now i am getting in to old classics!Next year i think i shall do the same goal but with 100 movies instead as watching 50 movies was very easy for me.

How to review my goals REGULARLY
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
Organized

How I did it: Every single day i logged on to 43things i was changing details of my list. It was an ongoing thing and now my list has been made smaller by me deleting goals that ment the same thing as previous goals.I shall be adding more to my list, and reviewing the list regularly still also..This goal can be fun. It can help you realise what you really want out of 43things also. Read how I did it…

How to re-tag, categorize, and prioritize my 43things
It took me
2 months
It made me
Organized

How I did it: I looked at my goals and i realised i had alot of goals associated to the same things. Then i put all the goals related to books together in priority order, then film goals, weight goals...etc.. All in priority.Then i went down the list and tagged all my goals.I wrote entries on the goals i felt the need to write entries to, and then after all this i believed that this goal was done. I feel organised on this site now and am happy. Read how I did it…

finish my cross stitch
Since... 8 hours ago

I have now completed the goal i was working on the most – (Watch 50 movies in 2009), I now have time to put this as my most important goal for now.

So today i am going to crack on with this cross-stitch, which as of now has taken me nearly 3 years!

I have only done just over 1/3 of it i would say so wish me luck!
