I'm doing 43 things
I tried hard to find meaningful tests (and not just decorations for social networking websites). However, they were hard to come by, and frankly I am not going to pay for any. After about fifteen tests, I felt I was just wasting time. Hence, I’ve given up.

How I did it
It made me
satisfied 
How I did it: I fixed an approximate time to sit at the computer and write it - after college or after dinner on workdays and after lunch on holidays. Those were two definite times when I would just move about wasting times to relax. So I utilized those minutes to write in my LJ. I didn't write a whole novella for daily entry but just a few sentences about something I felt strongly about that day. It is a good way of letting things go while still … Read how I did it…
It made me 
How I did it: It's one of the most frequently asked questions if people want to learn more about me. I always used to answer purple or violet because I thought of it as a royal and special colour. When I really thought about the matter, I discovered that I loved lots of colours and I badly wanted to know which of them I liked the best. And I wanted to be extremely specific about this.I used to go through brochures of colours used in interior designing … Read how I did it…
It made me
Myself again
How I did it: I can't say that I actually 'did' anything. It was just a case of letting time heal the wounds. I guess you can only like a person who doesn't like you the same way for so long. Moreover, this guy remained one of my close friends for weeks after my unrequited feelings were our common knowledge.Even though I never got over these feelings then, I was learning more and more about him. I must admit that I wasn't such good friends with him bef… Read how I did it…

I love reading. Hence, this should not be a ‘difficult’ goal to achieve. However, it is. This list chiefly includes the books that I bought only because they were ‘famous’ or someone spoke pretty highly of them. I realised this as I began sorting out what books I required to read. I am going to avoid these two pitfalls in future because I really don’t like owning a book that lies unread for years.
Moving on towards solving the problem… well, I’ve decided to read these books like textbooks. I HAVE TO “BEGIN” reading them. Once I’m halfway through ANY book, the journey gets exponentially easier and becomes more interesting.
I’m drawing out a reading schedule where I allot the ‘number of pages to be read’ to each day of the week. If I feel that I’ve only got to read 10 pages of the book and no more for the day, it feels easier… it’s like working on a less-liked subject at school.
I hope it works. .
