How to lose 20 pounds
It took me
11 weeks
It made me
Delighted!!!

How I did it: I gained 20 pounds before I found the motivation to lose that and the original 20.

How to have better posture
It took me
5 years
It made me
more confident

How I did it: The thing that made the difference for me was Groundctrl's advice to think about and correct my posture for 20 seconds.  Before that, I would correct for a few seconds, but then forget. Continuing to think and correct for 20 seconds at a time was long enough to really feel the difference.  After just a week of that, now when I slump I feel crunched.

visit every continent
Just South America left 9 months ago

I picked off the difficult one first. Antarctica was the first continent I visited outside of my native North America. Australia was tied in with one of those trips, too.

spend at least 15 minutes every day cleaning, organizing or decluttering
I'll know I've made this a habit when it leads to other changes in my life 9 months ago

I am doing this, and it is helping clear my head as well as my apartment. I’ll mark it as done when my mind is clear enough that I can make time to draw and paint on a regular basis again.
