Try out ideas.43things.com

I knew the ideas area existed, but hadn’t really bothered to spend any time there until Barak invited me to join this goal.

I have now added a few ideas (well, agreed with others on a few existing ideas actually …) and invited someone else to do this too. I’ll also be heading back there to add a few more ideas to my list …

I think this goal is complete :)

I’d like to see the team page for a given team goal have more options: encouraging regular check-ins, selecting a group facilitator, setting group sub-goals, etc. Maybe even the punishments and rewards! (It’s been fun reading the punishments for the sleep team.)

This is to help us maximize our 43things time—to help us read the things we want to read and not waste our time searching for the things we want to read.

I think when you look at your subscriptions page and you see something there you’re not interested in (say, for example, you’re not interested in reading everyone’s entries about the Halloween party this weekend) you could indicate that you don’t want to read any more comments (from anyone) on that entry… and you would never see it again!

If you agree with me, please cheer this on ideas.43things.com, or even add it to your list!
