How I did it
How to learn to drive
It took me
14 days
It made me

How I did it: Well a couple of years ago (I haven't logged in for an age!), I was doing temp work and basically over the course of 2 weeks I had about 20 hours of driving lessons and two tests.I would certainly recommend this approach over spanning your driving lessons to say, 1 per week. After all, when you're driving, you'll probably be driving at least twice every day.In fact, I think you're wasting money if you're not taking a lesson at least every… Read how I did it…

How to get a job
It took me
1 year
It made me
depressed.

How I did it: So, nearly 2 years have passed since I got a permanent job. Perhaps it's just today, but with all I have and all I've "gained" since getting a job, I'm left asking; "was it worth it?".I type this sitting in my scummy little studio flat. I have possessions. I haven't really had possessions before. It makes me feel.. uncomfortable... knowing that everything I see here is mine.I've been working 50-60 hours a week to save for a car, which I'm… Read how I did it…

update my 43things at least once a week
This is a good goal... 2 months ago

But is it achievable?

Annual breaks, checking back in the hope I have crossed something from the list. It’s obviously not going help me achieve the things I claim to want. So, I am going to try and login and give my list the once over every week. And maybe do a bit of browsing and commenting why not?

set realistic goals (read all 2 entries…)
hm 3 months ago

Yep yep… nearly that time to go through my list again.

But will I make the time?

go on a road trip, alone.
To here knows when... 3 months ago

As I’m getting a car soon the achievability of this goal is slowly on the rise.

Just a weekend, driving around to someplace. But I don’t think I can leave it to chance… No… This will require some planning.

I could just sleep out in the car… eating in small village cafes.

OH MY GOD. I should totally go to France by myself. I’ve never been to France, and I barely speak a word of French. I’d be so out of my comfort zone but it would be too exhilarating for me to notice.

Yes Rich, this is the best idea you’ll have all month!
