is starting to get stuff done again.



I'm doing 17 things
  

How I did it
How to ruthlessly clean out my 43 things list
It took me
1 day
It made me
feel productive

How I did it: I had things on my list that realistically I was never going to do.  Things that I actually didn't want to do in some cases.  I had 43 things.I now have 17.  I was ruthless.  Even things that had many entries got totally removed.  I looked objectively at each thing on my list and worked out if it was something I was willing to work on attaining in the next 6 months.  If it was, I let it stay, with the addendu… Read how I did it…

clean all of the weed out of the 4ft tank
Can't see the shark for the weeds 7 months ago

Its a bit sad when you’re not even sure your fish are still in the tank. Weed levels have grown to an insane proportion again in the big tank. There’s got to be something wrong with the ph, nitrogen or light levels.

For now, I just want to get as much weed as I can see out of the tank. Once I’ve done that I’ll look at creating a better ecosystem in there so it doesn’t come back.

buy a really good fountain pen (read all 3 entries…)
Only 2 days of actually looking 7 months ago

I’ve found one I love. Well, I’ve actually found two that I love, but I bought the one I could reasonably afford. It hasn’t arrived yet, but since the pen has been purchased, this Thing is officially done.

Oh, and of course, here is the fountain pen.

PS Since from what I’ve seen of their website, Pilot seem to be blissfully unaware that Australia exists, I will never buy or use any type of pen made by them in future. Way to totally alienate an entire continent. Great marketing strategy. Sorry, couldn’t resist venting.

Learn Java to the point where I can write a useful, functioning program
Because I have to 7 months ago

Technically, I have to be able to do this to get my degree. However, I’ve managed to get almost to the end of the semester with very good marks and a very shaky understanding of what I’m doing.

So, until I feel like I can confidently write a program in java from start to finish that functions correctly, this Thing stays on my list.
