#67: Nestie GTG

After four years of posting on The Nest I finally made it to a get-together. While sitting at the end of the table at Iron Cactus, I met several very nice ladies. Next time, I hope to work the table a little bit better!

#30&31: Closet Cleaning

I cleaned out my closet and I sorted my clothes. I have a bag full of no-longer worn apparel that I am going to take to Goodwill. Now, I have two more closets on my list. Babysteps . . .

first step toward photography

In my quest to take up photography, we just got our new camera. A semi-starter SLR: Nikon D80. I am excited to get to know the camera and capture some great shots. One of my favorite photos from our first hour of ownership!

1001 Day Project

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
