Stitchy's 101 things challenge for DFWs

Do you use the 'someday' list (ie so we can see that too:p)? Or do you just remember/think about it?

At the moment I'm just getting ideas. I have an old fashioned card index box in my bureau where I keep adding bits of information like that. I discovered a card I wrote at age 30 of eight things I wanted to achieve before I was 40. I passed that milestone 11 years ago and have still only acheived three of them!!

I'll make myself another card and add to it when I get ideas for my next list, so when it comes to September 2012 it won't be too difficult to gather 101 new things to put on my Day Zero page.

Apart from a bit of housework, this weekend is relatively free. I have a few things I need to do from my Monthly Goals list so I should also get chance to work on some of my 101 list too. My Monthly Goals list always includes " Complete 3 things from 101 list" and "Start 3 new things from 101 list" If you look at my Day Zero page you will see there are quite a few items in progress.

Just ask Josie - I LOVE LISTS :rotfl:

Completed no 89 and 90 on my list.

Write a hand written letter to my friend - was 5 A4 sheets long

And buy my wedding dress. Took my Nan in today and we have bought it. And also paid a fiver for storage to keep it there until the wedding which is definitely worth it!!! :D:D:D:D:D

This weekend i want to try and tick off another 2 things on my list!

Well done!! That's brilliant news littlekel.

Just don't leave collecting the dress to the last minute. I went to collect mine at 5.05pm on the day before my wedding and the shop shut at 5.00.:eek:

Luckily the wedding was at 12.00 so I was outside the shop at opening time, in between the hairdressers appointment and the florist's delivery.

Hi ladies! (and any fellas!) seeing as its been a rainy day (but its starting to brighten up now, just in time for the carnival :j) & I needed some soul nuturing I've been working on 17 & 82. Making a home-made recipe book for a friend who doesn't cook so a collection of simple but yummy recipes - going to get a journal book and print of recipes & pictures and then make the dishes without pictures and take photos :j also (same person so maybe cheating being 2 things! ) a hamper with scales, bowl, whisk, cake case, maybe a couple of the unusual ingredients

very productive but lazy Saturday, still in bed

I don't think that's cheating at all, it's making good use of your resources.

On my list I have (33) "Go to the Cotswolds with Jo", (83) "Peruse the shelves of the Founditatlast bookshop" which is in Scotland and (30) "Meet Denise Strong at last" and she lives in Dorking. These are all places I've never been to so, once all three are done, I will also cross off (15) "Visit three new places in Great Britain"

You will also notice on my list I have cut down some of the bigger things into manageable sized chunks - lose half a stone, lose another half a stone etc. This is because, like many people, I work better if I get a "pat on the head" every so often. If my target was to lose a whole stone in 1001 days, and I only acheived 10lb I would feel I had failed. Whereas using my method, I would have acheived one goal (the half a stone) which would encourage me to try for the other half. In reality, my weight has stayed exactly the same for the last eight months

I used the same philosophy when writing tasks regarding the allotment, paying off my debts and starting my business. I like ticking stuff off so I really ought to get off my behind and start doing something. How on earth did it get to be 4 o'clock???

Morning all, can't do links but have just made my very short list under Souk08. Will add to it later X

I've just transferred the first 2 x £2 into an old savings account for task 100 - put £2 away for every task I complete.

Going to start thinking about task 41 soon - make christmas pressies - will probably update the progress on my diary thread - wouldn't want to bore you all!!
