I'm doing 15 things
Somewhere in mid-February I got distracted and have yet to get back on track… I think this week I will make a concerted effort to get back on target to having 100 listings in my Zibbet store. I have the stock, it’s just the tedium of entering the info. After that, I am not sure which direction to take.

How I did it
It made me
reflective 
How I did it: At first, I tried to do small parts of the list -- 5 items at a time. This worked OK, but made it a long project. Once I hit 25, I tried to do 25 at a time... which meant the list spent a long time in hibernation in between posts. What finally did it was just going in and opening the list every day. I would read what was there and was usually able to add one or two more until I got to the end. Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied
How I did it: I started with a list and I started thinking about what I could make each individual. With more than 6 months I probably could have made bigger, more personal gifts. As it was, I made everyone stockings, each with an applique chosen for them. Read how I did it…
It made me
Very happy
How I did it: Basically, we sold our house and used some of that cash to pay off our other debts. We still have a mortgage, but I don't count that as we would otherwise be paying rent. Read how I did it…

I’ve recently had a couple of short articles published on Lifeasahuman.com which is an edited website. I suppose I could mark this as “done” but I think I want more out there.
Finished one project (the lingering e-book!) and have identified a bunch more. There’s some priority, but the goal is to focus on them one at a time until they are done. I’m about 2/3 done my second project, too!
