The good news about my 95 by 65 progress for the first quarter of 2015 is that I did not let the project fall by the wayside, I've made steady progress, and I am enjoying the process. I brought the following goals to completion:
#1 Create 95 by 65 list, completed 1/24/2015.
#2 Create the Leon Project, completed 1/12/2015.
#29 Research and purchase food processor, completed 1/30/2015. Some of the safety features are a little frustrating, but on the whole I really like it so far.
#48 Visit King Arthur Flour, completed 2/12/2015. Thanks, Heather!
#56 Join Twitter, completed 2/9/2015. Thanks, Stephan! I haven't yet done anything more with it besides make one tweet and read a few others. I wanted to have it set up in case of emergencies, but so far haven't found any reason to use it otherwise.
#86 Rocket boost genealogy work by end of January 2015 (40 hours of work in segments of 1 or more hours, over approximately 2 weeks), completed 2/1/2015. It was great to put in that much time, and I'd like to do it again (with some modifications), but what I really need to do is set up a system of regular, steady work in smaller chunks, which I haven't done yet. There is so much to do!
The bad news is that I completed only six items in the first quarter, which means I'm working at a rate of two goals per month, well below that needed to accomplish 95 in the 30 months I gave myself. What's more, most of these are relatively easy, short goals, unlike, for example, #91 Organize photos 2007-2011.
But I'm not discouraged. Although I only completed six goals, I've made good progress on several others. Indeed, I added three more accomplished goals to the total so far in April. I'm still behind, so I need to pay attention, and focus. But on the whole I'm happy with the system and my progress so far.
I love it that other people are so supportive in this. Heather took us to visit King Arthur Flour and a new museum (#69); Stephan sent me invitations to Twitter and Google+ (#55), and joined me in reading the Koran (#65); and Porter makes sure I get to new restaurants (#38), Universal Studios (#39), and live performances (#34); nudges me to watch Shakespeare (#67), Great Courses (#66), and NCIS (#40); encourages me to keep running (#18); and arranged for our recent trip to a new state (#44), where we visited four new museums. And more.
That said, it's still an overwhelming list, and I need to get crackin'!
