If your still having trouble coming up with your own here are a few guidelines that seem to help I urge you to post your list in the comment section of this blog so you know it is always here. I may update the status of my list every month or so. I really am stoked some of you are into this and because of your comments and the fear of coming off like a total hypocrite I now have even more incentive to fulfill my 22 list. What about the mysticism of number 22. Cmon you know I don’t buy that Hippie crap. If your still having trouble coming up with your own here are a few guidelines that seem to help
It is important to include several no-brainer fun things. Make Pancakes,Play guitar hero,go to a movie alone, watch a foreign film. Most important is to
Be specific !!!!
Example : I want to find true love......First of all you cant go find it and usually what you thought was true love wasn’t in the first place. too vague. You could put go out on five dates. /
PLay guitar 7 hours a week. I would change that one as well. What if you cant play one week or only manage 5 hours. Dont set yourself up for possibly making a mistake. I would put play guitar 1000 hours in 2011 and just mark off the hours. I didn’t put run 20 miles a week, sometimes I run more what if Im riding across the country and dont run for two weeks. I didn’t want to look at that list and make an asterisk by a certain week. I put run 611 miles that way I will check them off as I go. I would stay away from putting tasks that are beyond your control. I’m all for positive thinking but as I’ve said before I don’t fall for that “Secret” stuff. I would like another TV show, I would like to be working in NASCAR next year on TV. I put on my list pitch a show create, new ideas and put the tools and tasks it would take to achieve those goals on the list. It is also important to make a list that you realistically will complete...
So heres mine and feel free to post yours in the comment section

ReplyDelete~Find a new job

i've been picking at this since you posted the guidelines this year...and i can only get to 15. that's cool, though. i'll be proud if i manage all of them.
ReplyDelete1) drink at least 360L of water, attempt to make it to 720L.
2) exercise at least 102 times, attempt to make it to at 153 or more.
3) get out of - or make very strong moves towards getting out of - this house. (dear Riki, this is one of those ones that only sounds vague because you don't have the 8000 page backstory. i swear, this is a very concrete goal in my head with very specific definitions. it'd just take years to write out. :P)
4) see 3 live shows.
5) go to the museum at least twice
6) get a job
7) lose 20lbs (my stated goal for last year was lose 50 and i lost 30 of them! 20 left to go!)
8) get a new tattoo
9) see angie. she is my best friend and girlfriend, i've known her for pushing 14 years now, and have never met her in person. this is stupid.
10) clean (and MAINTAIN) my bedroom. three years of severe depression has lead to a hoarders state in there. i'm done with it.
11) clean (and MAINTAIN) my kitchen. same deal.
12) get more (pet) rats. once the house is clean, i can have rats again.
13) make a new local friend
14) get a damn haircut!
15) actually see a doctor about my weird muscle spasms. i have a sneaking suspicion i may have a brain lesion, and have been avoiding dealing with it out of fear since i was 12. me and danny glover, we're too old for this shit.
