have 43 Things on my 43 Things list

I am wondering if I can do it, and yes thing goal is a little bit of a cheat, but it really is a goal now to be honest. I also find it very comforting to see that 102 people who were in this group have done it and 88% thing it is worth doing!

I should make better use of 43 things – here goes!

DONE!!!

So I have this as a goal on my 43 things list. Once I accomplished it I would take it off my list, right? So then I would have 42. Theoretically I could add it again, and then the same thing would happen. Forever.

So true. I want this to look like I have a whole life full of goals to achieve. Even more since I don’t know what the future holds in store for me, who I am, let alone who I want to be.

I’m taking small steps. As of now, my existance is a total mess, but I expect it to improve as my To-Do list is growing.

• With free space of 43
• this thing comes to start from me
• With free space of 42
• I still don’t know what I shall do
• With free space of 41
• I mark the first thing proudly “done”
• ...

Im filling my list up for the holidays. Just because i’ve never done it before!

...you only need on your DONE list.

I got my list up to 43 today and then went looking for this. I figured it was out there somewhere.

The day I started 43Things, I had about 10 Things. That was nearly 10 months ago. Some of those Things are still on my list.

My underlying goal is to accomplish all my S.M.A.R.T. goals before my birthday next year. The rest can stay and remind me of things I need to be continually doing or doing over and over.

I now have a little over 6 months to accomplish 21 of the goals on my list. YIPES!!! I’d better get a move on. Let’s see how many I can really get done by May 29, 2008.

I have 42 things + this ‘have 43 things on my 43 things list’ item on my list, and I just thought of another one, so that means this one is done.

Some people complain that when they have 43 things that they have to delete some to make room for new ones.

I say, take it as motivation to complete some of the things on your list! I figure our lists should be things we want to do, not things we just want to think about doing.

I have 43 things, but this is one of them. I would consider this one completed when I have another thing to replace it with.

Cuz really, i feel that right now I’m at 42 + 1.
