43 Things

My work-in-progress is about a woman who finds the list of things she wanted to do before thirty and rushes to accomplish the remaining items in the two weeks before her thirtieth birthday. Now, I've never made one of these lists for myself, but while I was trying to figure out what kinds of things would be on such a list, I found 43 Things.

This site is cool because you can see all the things (more or less than 43) that people around the World Wide Web are trying to accomplish. You can make a list of your own and get cheers and advice from others. And, you can also give others advice on how you acomplished various things you've done.

My list only has four things. The two most important things on that list are write and stop procrastinating. It's very powerful to put something in writing and see how many other people are working toward the same goals you are. It's meaniful to get encouragement, even from strangers. And most importantly, it's great to check off all the things you've done and help others do the same.
