After two weeks, I’m quitting. It’s too hard to be a Dvorak guy in a Qwerty world. 25% inability to stand the loss of speed while re-learning, and 75% frustration with switching back and forth. Maybe someday when I’m self-employed and only use my own computers (and they don’t run Windows with its annoying switching behavior!).
Why 43? What is a thing? How long should it be until that thing is worked on regularly or should be removed? Are general life goals, or specific actions appropriate? Of what merit is being a sheeple and putting down forty-some idealistic wishes like everyone else on this web-2.0-networked island out on some data server somewhere? These are questions that completing this goal have caused me. Not a good thing. I wouldn’t recommend bothering to reach this arbitrary limit, much less getting on the bandwagon with others’ goals. Make your own “things” system, and perhaps use this site, but don’t use it as a contest to fill up the 43 things.
