It appears I have 13 tasks that I've had the genius to mark as In Progress. I thought it worth time to check out how prospective they were all looking...
New2. Travel A-Z. 10 out of 26.
This one is fun - nice and flexible. I feel like 10 isn't too bad. But then, I don't exactly have a strategy for the remaining 16. X and Z are looking hard. Keen to check out DC, so that should catch W. Quite fustratingly, many places seem to start with the same letters - I've been to at least 3 each of B, C, M and P...
New41. Project 365
This has gone better than I thought when I first began - I thought maybe I'd only make it a couple of months. But. September was truly abysmal. I'm trying to figure out how to punish myself before I put together the monthly mosaic. Think I missed 10 all up. AND I was traveling for half the month. Great Barrier Reef: no, nothing worth a daily photo there... Current thinking is that I'll figure out the date/number of each day I missed and take a highly skillful and creative photo of that number to repent. All up though, I am up to Day 250. Enough good pics to use in my next set of Moo cards. And a maaarginally improved 'eye'. I think.
New44. Freerice
This one is worse than the last. I've donated 15,290 on my mac and 8,170 on my iPhone. From memory, there were at least 5,000 on my work computer before it was vaporised... So let's say 28,460. I think it's not sitting at a desk with a boring job all day that killed my momentum. Donating grains of rice and improving my vocabulary used to often be the most productive way I could spend half my time. Now I have a life. But I do still believe in the cause. And I've downloaded MobileRice for my iPhone, so let's target using that more in my new dead time: waiting at traffic lights, the queue to buy groceries...
New52. Comments
Bad blogger. Yes, I'm a bad contributor to the general blogosphere in terms of sharing the love with my fellow bloggers. Although I think I'm better than it may appear - my primary weakness my be recording my good deeds, rather than actually committing them. I have to say, it is all a bit more fun when I'm commenting everywhere and - horror - people talk back.
New71. Galleries
New York is great for visiting galleries. Having the goal gives me just that extra little push needed to actually use my museum memberships and drop in on the Met and the MoMA. Still a bit of a way off 50, but have faith.
New 76. Spanish
And here I've come close to breaking one of the golden 101 rules: make sure the goal is specific. I'm not sure how I planned to measure Intermediate. I could happily claim beginner at the moment. And some would say finishing all 3 levels of Rosetta Stone would grant me intermediate. I think I'd like to test it out more first. Possibly a combined surf/spanish school in Central America for a few weeks. I must get back to a bit of Rosetta Stone revision in the meantime. Such elation at finishing the last lesson and don't think I've opened it since. Tut tut.
To be continued... (yep, that's what the 'part 1' was meant to signify)
