I'm doing 42 things
A goal to stop me from stalking off. I’m still a beginner and I have the rest of my life to get better at gaining a lifetime of >=6 languages. The thing with me? I need challenges to progress. I’ve learned that I need structure, have to add my flavor(reduces boredom/giving up) and put small goals in larger goals to gain the things I want.

How I did it
It made me
mellow 
How I did it: On my 30th birthday, I realized that I didn't want to spend another 30 years floating, being unhappy and angry. I wrote 30 things I wanted to feel and do before I was 60. The main goal on the list was to point myself towards happiness. I'm 35 and still have a lot to do...It wasn't easy(slipped many times) but I think I'm getting some of my goals done. :) Read how I did it…

How I did it: Did a search, found the site and purchased a sleigh pass to the convention. I showed up dressed in Santa gear and followed the crowd - had a good time. Read how I did it…
