How I did it
How to recover from surgery
It took me
8 months
It made me
athletic again

How I did it: Details of the accident are described in entries for the goal.  Basically had a really bad snowboarding accident, knee surgery, 4 month on crutches, another 4 months to recover.The key with recovering from injuries is not to get lazy. It is too easy to start slacking off and skipping exercises as soon as you start getting better.  I've been there myself and as soon as you slow down you notice that your progress drops drastically… Read how I did it…

How to read all the Harry Potter books
It took me
2 months
It made me
sooo sad

How I did it: I started reading the books after I saw the fourth film (HP & Goblet of Fire).  Now mind you I am in my mid twenties and before I saw the fourth movie I wasn't even considering reading this children's series(though I did watch all movies and agree that they were very good).  But then I saw that things started getting more interesting and violent.  I decided to pick up the first book and check what the whole fuss was abo… Read how I did it…

How to learn how to drive stick-shift
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
more badass

How I did it: Call your local driving school (google or yellow pages)  and ask them if they offer stick shift lessons, most likely they do.  If they don't, call another school ( the first school I called had them).  Number of lessons that you'll need will vary on how fast you can pick it up.  I would say somewhere between 3 to 5 should be fine.  I took 3 and my instructor told me I don't need anymore unless I just want to come … Read how I did it…

Watch 'An Inconvenient Truth'
not easy 2 months ago

I had this goal on my list for about 3 months now. At first I thought it shouldn’t take too long, I’ll just rent it one weekend and watch it with a few friends.

The problem is, no one wants to watch a depressing movie about how our life is going to shit when they don’t have to. As a matter of fact I don’t want to watch it; I just don’t want to be ignorant so I am making myself.

Anyway, I just bought myself a 2007 Infinity G35 with 300 HP, so now I feel like I owe it to the environment to at least know what Im doing to it every time I floor the gas pedal.

Read all the books on the BBC Big Read Top 100
I guess this is a long term goal 2 months ago

Its a nice list, should finish this goal within 2 years. I am pretty sure I will re-read everything I haven’t read in the past year or two just to refresh my memory.

read all the Harry Potter books (read all 2 entries…)
Great books 3 months ago

So I finished the books. Kind of expressed all my feeling about it in my “how to ” review so don’t want to repeat myself. Will definitely re-read the books in the years to come.
