How I did it
How to make bagels
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I used 2 of the biggest pots I could find, and even then they only fit 2 bagels at a time, each.  So I ended up spending somthing like 4 hours making all fo the bagels.  But my colleagues loved them!  They didn't know what they were, but they loved them anyways. Read how I did it…

How to become Financially Independent
It took me
6 years
It made me

How I did it: Well, the 5 years I am counting from the time I turned 18.  I went to college and had to take a lot of loans, and also loaned some money from my parents.  But after graduating it only took me one year to save the money to pay my parents back, and now I am slowly but surely paying off my student loans.  I count this as financially independent becuase I don#t need to borrow anything from anybody, and have the freedom to make my own choices … Read how I did it…

How to not mess up at my new job
It took me
3 years
It made me

How I did it: It's been three years, so I figure I can mark this one as "done".  I didn't try to take on too many things, or pretend I knew more than I really do... and that worked fine!  Now I am travelling around the world and have a good reputation. Read how I did it…

maintain good relationships
Working on it 1 month ago

I’ve been spending a lot more time with my friends, and more time writing to the ones who live far away. It is amazing how much a little time spent can do for your friendships! I tell my parents that I love them more, and spend more time with my family too. It’s great, and I feel like I am well on my way to completing this goal!

Learn a third language
Finally getting there! 1 month ago

I tried to learn Chinese a few years ago, but only lasted about 3 months (private lessons once a week) before giving up becuase I just wasn’t motivated. For a while I let this goal just sit… but then I met my (now) fiancee, who is Mexican, and so I’ve been learning Spanish for over a year. It is going very well even though we never speak it at home together. I have been taking classes and travelled to Mexico for 2 months last year also, which helped a lot. I plan to pursue this to fluency, and then attack a 4th language!
