How I did it
How to take a hike
It took me
1 day
It made me
invigorated

How I did it: The key to taking a hike is preparedness.  Know your destination.  Dress appropriately and bring along some gear that may be helpful or at least fun.I looked up several potential destinations in my local area.  I found several helpful sites, local and national that pointed me in the right direction, which I'll list below.  The beauty of looking up potential destinations is that it also gets you really excited about fin… Read how I did it…

Keep track of 43 things for 2011
Getting started...

Two things I’m doing to get started with this goal:
1) Print 5 copies of my 43 things for 2011 and hang them on my front door, back door, bedside, bathroom mirror, and over work room desk.
2) Will try to log hours spent on 43things goals using google calendar. I’d like to see how much time I put in on them and compare to progress I’ve made by this time next year.

I really like 43things as a tool and wish I’d been using it more. And if wishes were horses…, so instead I’ll just do.

Take pictures at the beach once each season. (read all 2 entries…)
Fail/restart

Didn’t manage this for 2009/2010, so going to try once more for 2011.

write a short story.
Did it...but not done yet...

Which is to say that I did this in probably the worst way possible. Rather than the write 3 pages every day until I had something approach, I went for the burst of inspiration approach. And though I wrote a 1 page story in a day, I haven’t been writing regularly since. I think the spirit of this goal was to get myself into the habit of daily writing/creative work. That said, I still feel good about finally producing a piece of work. And there’s a lot to be said for the sense of accomplishment it brings.
