How I did it
It made me
confident 
How I did it: I decided it was not going to be a beautifully written bestseller no matter what I do so I just set down to put down my story as quickly as I could. I found myself repeating myself and going into more details sometimes but that helped me learn more about my characters when I allowed them to talk more.I even have hopes now of finishing it up completely and that will be my next years' goal! Read how I did it…
It made me
happy & focused
How I did it: I thought about what I was trying to achieve with this--and how if I couldn't even focus long enough to write one entry about why and how I wanted to approach a goal I probably didn't want it enough to make it happen...And yes it felt silly and a bit tedious as I was doing it but once I got started and even more when I got finished it was totally worth it. I feel like I've committed something now and I may actually get somewhere. Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied
How I did it: Once I got started it was easy. We got the 'dead' garden when we moved in and I just could not make myself dig up the dead plants. I bought a hand rake and a spade and some new seeds and told myself I was preparing the earth for the new growth not giving up on the dead ones and it was so worth it! Read how I did it…

Because I don’t know how long this will take me. Last year I ended up using store bought cards.
If I do 10 cards myself this year I can give them to family and close friends and special people—
have nothing in my house that I do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful (read all 2 entries…)

I figure I will either follow the tip to pick a room then a cupboard/box/drawer or if I don’t manage that just make sure to put away/throw away/give away at least 5 items a day. That should be manageable even for me!
