101 Goals for 2006

101 Goals for 2006

I believe that the big things are all made up of small things that matter. I also realized that if I do many many small things that bother me, I'd feel better about myself. My resolutions are also cyclical. In 2004, I had a No Shopping resolution, and about a dozen things to accomplish. Then in 2005, I had only 2 goals, which I accomplished. In 2006, I feel confident enough to list 101 goals for the year. So here are my of 101 goals for 2006, in no order of preference. I have decided to post them today since I am going off tomorrow to KL and will be back in the new year. I have grouped them into the relevant categories. Of course, these are not cast in stone, if I am having a lot of difficulties doing a couple of them, I will replace them with something else, although I shall try and limit it to 10% deviation. (heh) I am going to tick them off as I do it!

It took me quite a while (like almost 2 months) to come up with this list - it is actually harder than you think to list down stuff to do! So, because it has been on my mind, I already had somewhat of a head start. Like No. 36 (I think I only have about 1 or 2 more bottles to go!) and No. 61 (Purchases to far: 1 Autumn Coat, 1 Winter Coat, 1 V neck Wool sweater, 1 Summery top in a classic romantic design.)

Woo Hoo!
