I found a great computer program called “Manictime” that helps me keep track of what I’m doing on the computer & the internet. I couldn’t believe how much time I’ve spent on Facebook :p

How I did it
It made me
feel important. 
How I did it: I joined my local Toastmasters club, and I made an effort to visit every week. I also made it a goal of mine to give at least one speech a month. Because I stuck to that goal, I was able to complete the first ten basic requirement speeches and I earned my "Competent Communicator" certificate. Now I'm working on my "Advanced Toastmaster - Bronze" certificate. Read how I did it…
It made me
good
How I did it: 1. Imagine that you're one of those guys in the circus who hangs by his teeth from an iron bar. That's how you can straighten yourself out.2. If you can feel your collar with the back of your neck, it means that you're up straight. 3. Get yourself a "backtone" device. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel worthwhile.
How I did it: If you’re serious about public speaking, then join your local toastmasters club. Just visit their website, at toastmasters dot org, and find something that’s nearby.I love Toastmasters! Everyone owes it to themselves to visit at least once. Read how I did it…

I’ve always known that my writing skills are good enough. Now I want to prove it to myself.
There are just two obstacles I have to face: What to write about, and where to send it.
Gotta put the brakes on this

I spend way too much time on the internet, especially youtube. What’s worse, it cuts into the time that I need to accomplish my other goals such as reading or practicing the piano.
If only I could find a computer program that could (1) keep track of my internet habits, (2) a timer that would alert me when I’ve spent too much time on the computer, (3) or both!
