I'm doing 29 things
I have been going at it for a year now. I have had my ups and downs. I am really doing a lot better than I was before starting even on my low points though. My kitchen is usually semi-clean, my sink is usually empty, my toilet is ALWAYS clean the swish and swipe really stuck with me, I usually make my bed, and I use a timer for nearly everything. :)

How I did it
It made me
At Peace 
How I did it: I started out by decluttering for fifteen minutes a day until I had made a significant dent. I would go back over the same boxes and rooms several times and find that I was becoming less attached to my clutter every time I did it. After awhile I had cut down to things that I was very emotionally attached to or had a real use for. Then we moved from our large two bedroom apartment to a 350sqf studio apartment. As we were moving I went back… Read how I did it…

Level 80
How I did it: I played off and on since the game came off, and have had well over 100 characters. I get to around level 40 and abandon them, I have deleted at least 50 characters at least level 30. Anyway, after wrath of the lich king came out I never got up the spirit to focus on one character to get to 80. Now, I took my first character I ever made, my favorite and just did it.

Have more money!
How I did it: Since I moved out when I was 18, I have had trouble getting my bills paid on time. Having 1/2 paper bills, 1/2 paperless, and even a couple where I don't receive a bill at all - it has been a hassle to keep track of what I owe where and when. So, over a month I called places - found out the exact amount I owed a month and on what day then entered that information into a list on rememberthemilk.com.I set the due date as the tim… Read how I did it…

I hope I can stick with it this time. I haven’t bitten my nails in over two months. There is something about pregnancy that makes breaking habits easier for me. I am still getting used to clipping my nails and can never seem to get them even, but filing just takes too long and the noise bugs me. One thing I have learned is that if you have bitten your nails your whole life like me, you won’t adapt easily to having long nails. I started out growing mine to a normal girly length and kept scratching myself and my son. Then I started clipping them to a “sport length” and it is really nice. I have also been using gel fortifier to strengthen my nails and trying to keep them painted. It gives me something pretty to look at and makes me feel nice that I have pretty nails now and also reminds me to not bite them, because the polish is on there. Good luck everyone else with this one!
