No More Lates
Well, I had a week solid of being on-time, and that is good. The start of the second week I was late because of snow (that’s not an excuse, but it’s my excuse).
This kinda depressed me. In an effort to not sabotage my successes with depression, I decided to make the creteria in regards to latenesses be “1 full week (x100)” instead of “2 full weeks (x50).”
So...

First Aid Kits
I decided to get a First Aid Kit for the car, but not for the house. I just picked up some first aid type materials for the house. I got one like the picture above, not a huge one because I don’t foresee me needing a huge quantity of first aid supplies for any reason… maybe if I start hiking in the summer I will think of getting a bigger one.
I also bought 2 fire extinguishers for...

Organize Paperwork
In my first step toward organizing all my important papers, I bought this fire safe box for such things as passport, social security card, birth certificate, etc. Its the same as the picture above, but black. Wish I could have gotten the blue, it’s pretty :)

Honda Music Link
When I bought my Honda in 2006, I got Honda Music Link ipod hook-up, to be able to hook my ipod right into the stereo system of the car. I soon realized that I couldn’t control the songs that play on my ipod through the car stereo controls. Which pissed me off.
It seems I went almost 4 years not knowing if I was out of luck or if there was a way to do this that I just hadn’t figured...

Whiten Teeth
I bought Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal, and have completed two nights of it so far. It’s a 14 day process. So far my teeth aren’t too sensitive to the strips, which I was afraid of, and they stick pretty well. I have been doing it at night before I go to bed.
I’ve had yellow teeth for years, not VERY yellow, but enough to be a little embarrassing in pictures. Of course...

Wall Calendar
I got in the mail on Wed. Jan 27. It came in the most enormous box! I put it up and started marking my on-times/tardies for work. So far I have a week of on-times. Here’s hoping for 99 more!
I also marked my first goal completed on the calendar. I really need to document these things with photos, so when I dig out my camera from the many bags I am still unpacking, I will snap a pic and...

Wall Calendar
Well, may as well start with something easy. I ordered the wall calendar on Amazon, and it’s on its way. I won’t mark the goal “complete” until it actually gets here and I hang it up and write on it. I will be using it to help me keep track of the status of my goals, especially the weekly ones.
I’ve been not getting around to ordering the calendar for weeks, so it is...
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...
