has done nothing this year. :(



I'm doing 23 things
  

How I did it
How to use a calendar
It took me
1 day
It made me
organised

How I did it: I actually opted for a digital calendar in the end.I'm now using Mozilla Sunbird to keep a record of the varied hours I'll be working in the future, and that I have worked in the past week - which comes in very handy come Saturday when timesheets must be submitted.It also helped appease my obsessive-compulsive side. There's now almost as much reliability in my schedule as in a german train timetable, if you'll excuse the horrendous … Read how I did it…

How to get a better job
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
feel respected

How I did it: Well, my low-paying, low-satisfaction, high-demanding job finally came to an end as my now former employer became insolvent.This was a two-sided coin. I was not especially happy given my predicament; I had to rely on welfare benefits to support myself, and while free money is always a good thing, it's barely sufficient to live on. I have no idea how certain people have the patience to game the system and sponge off the state.It just doesn… Read how I did it…

How to sort out my sleeping pattern
It took me
6 months
It made me

23 was so long ago...

but it doesn’t feel like it.

When I initially added this goal I don’t think I had a particular person in mind to find, but I’ve spent the intervening time discovering them; now it’s just me who is lost and ‘un-found’.

I’ll have to work on that if I’m to actually find this person completely.

This is supposed to be cryptic, and it is.

go somewhere
Inspiration

Somebody on my Facebook news feed has just given me the idea to jump on a plane and visit somewhere for about a month. That sort of escapism is so appealing to me, so I’ve stolen the idea.

I’ll start saving this month; I get paid in a week’s time, and despite the bills I have to pay which this month equal my wage, I will make it happen.

Always fancied Vancouver. Can’t take that long to save up a grand, if I live on noodles and tap water. :|

Why have I still not done this?

It’s been a year, if not more, since I first added this goal.
Must do this soon.
