43 things / 43 places

Well, it is the end of the year - people review last year and think about next year...

resolution time...

I think I've blogged about this in the past, but I love the website 43 things... on it, you can list 43 things you'd like to do... you can look at them as goals, short term goals, long term goals, resolutions, or just things to check off your "things to do in your life" list. It can be as simple as "Watch the movie "Rent"" to "Climb Mount Everest" or anything in between.

It is fun, a neat way to track progress... (for each thing, you can leave messages or log entries tracking your progress, if you wish. You can also find others who are working on similar goals, or who have succeeded in meeting doing that "thing" and read their entries or ask the for ideas. You can also opt to have the website email you to remind you that it is something you want to do... currently I have 18 things on my list, and I get emailed about 4 of them once a week.)

It has a sister site - 43 places, where you can make a list of 43 places you want to go.

So, if you're thinking about making a resolution this year, give yourself a break and head over to 43 things. Make a list, set some goals, big and small, achievable tomorrow or in 20 years... And resolve to try and tackle at least one of those things in the next year...

After all, I did learn to solve a rubik's cube.
