The Countdown is ON!

So I only have 165 days left. 165 days. Needless to say, I'm nervous about finishing. Granted, I only have 26 goals left, and some of them are in the process and almost finished, but... I don't know. I think it's going to be pretty close.

I've already started writing my next list to start the day after this one ends. I guess anything I don't finish here will move over to that list. I really hope I make it. I don't want to end up another Day Zero statistic.

Finished Goals: 75/101
Days Left: 165

List Update III: Small Accomplishments

There are a few small items on this list I have recently crossed off that I didn't think deserved individual posts, and so I decided that now is as good a time as any to provide a quick summary of them:

• 49. Finish entire To Do list once 3/16/09
• 55. Teach Zak how to properly load the dishwasher 2/1/09
• 63. Keep car clean for a month 3/2/09
• 65. Keep closet clean for a month 3/19/09
• 77. Submit a sentence to One Sentence 1/22/09
• 79. Submit 3 Overheards (3/3) 1/24/09 3/16/09 3/19/09
• 101. Pick up a stranger's tab 3/16/09

Also, I decided to wait on The 26 Things Project. While it is true that I don't know when the next list will be published, I just wasn't making time for nor was I enjoying it this time around. It seems silly to do it just to cross off my list when I still have well over 900 days left. I'm sure there will be at least one other opportunity during that time at some point.

Finished Goals: 25/101
Days Left: 938

List Update II

I'm in the process of changing some of the goals on my list again. I originally had some goals on here that relate to my car; however, because I am getting a new car much earlier than I expected, it only makes sense to take those goals off and replace them with new goals.

The new goals are to design and get my 2nd tattoo, create and execute 5 new marketing ideas for my spa business, organize my spa room, and maintain the new organization for 1 month.

I always keep my room sanitized, of course, but I'm not so good at keeping everything organized in a work-friendly manner. At the end of the day it's just too easy to throw stuff in the cabinet and leave. No more! I thrive in clean spaces, and if I expect my business to grow, I need to respect that.

List Update

Today I decided to change my list just a tiny bit. It occurred to me that number 29, Pay off Kitchen Appliances, under "Finances" was redundant. Truthfully, due to the nature of the debt, I believe it is already housed under number 33, Pay off Credit Cards. That means that I could put another goal on my list in its stead.

I chose File 2008 Taxes. I know that April 15 is still pretty far away, but I want to get this done ASAP. And truthfully, I'm almost positive that I was actually supposed to have them filed by January 31. So that actually makes me delinquent (shhh... don't tell anyone), and since I seem to finish things on this list faster than my regular To-Do list, I figure it makes a wise addition. Furthermore, I think replacing one item related to finances with another is really the best course of action. I was tempted to put another fun item on the list instead, but my practicality got in the way.
