101 in 1001 Reprisal

As mentioned earlier, I’m redoing 101 in 1001 starting today. This time round I’ve made the tasks less rigid so in the event of total craziness they’re still accomplishable and I’ve also added in the dreaded “fill this in later” tasks as I now understand how useful they can be. Imagine waiting almost [...]

Welcome 2009!

Hi everyone
I’ve been avoiding posting anything recently as I wanted to make today special since it’s the first day of the calendar year and a wonderful time to start afresh.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been slowly mapping out my goals for 2009 and I decided to restart my 101 in 1001 as well. [...]

Dawning of a New Month

101 in 1001 – February 2008 Update

Well I think we can successfully say that I’m not doing great at this but on the other hand with over 900 days to go I’m not doing as badly as I thought. I come across as being really negative in assessing the tasks below but I’m not that cut up about it – [...]

One down – only One Hundred to go

Yesterday I mentioned Brad Issac at Achieve-IT! is running a month-long series on Goal Setting and today we’re on Day Two: Start with a Big List. I found this a bit daunting starting with an empty page and personally could have done with a few starter questions but after a few minutes I wrote [...]

Welcome 2008!

Well, how about that – another year has slipped from our grasp and whilst I won’t make any comments on the year that has past, I have a feeling that 2008 will be a really wonderful year.
Earlier in the year I noted somewhere that there are many points in the year when you can reevaluate [...]
