You might think this is a thread for soccer didn't ya? Well it isn't! This is a thread à la the "Enter my world" thread and /r/challengeaccepted. You write down a list of what you want to do this day/week/multiple weeks/month/half year etc. and then when the time has gone/is progressing you post pictures of proof. I thought this might be a fun little "get your shit done" thread meanwhile being able to see who are really doing something other than being on c-t/reddit.

I'll start out:

This weeks goals:
1. Go pick up "At the mountain of madness" by H.P. Lovecraft at the library
2. Go pick up a few note sheets for piano
3. Go pick up a few books about tree sorts and woodworking
4. Go pick up a few books on tattoos
5. Read it all and practice piano

Goals of August:

2. Practice guitar atleast an hour a day
3. Practice piano atleast an hour a day

GREAT thread idea btw if that's gives me even a little bit of motivation it'll be a success

[Prince of Scandinavia]

I would say that my goals were met this month. There was a few days where I either didn't manage to meditate or do gymnastics.

1. Gain a kilo or two in muscle mass [✓] - Currently at 65kg, started 63 early August.
2. Practice guitar atleast an hour a day [✓] - Great decision I made forcing me to play more.
3. Practice piano atleast an hour a day [✓] - Used way more than an hour a day due to finding tutorials and practicing.
4. Practice gymnastics half and hour [✓] - It wasn't always easy finding places to do it but I managed.
5. Meditate [✓] - Still haven't gotten the hang of it. The first two weeks I kept falling asleep.
6. Practice dotwork and woodcut tattoo art [X] - I read a lot of books about the styles but only got ot practice it a handful of times.

My goals for September:

1. Be the best tutor I can be for the freshmen. Show them the city life and great things in my city.
2. Score the usual five girls (It's a tradition that you got to give a flask of some alcohol whenever you score a freshmen)
3. Start working out again (I worked out 3-4 times in August :/)
4. Read your text material for class a few days beforehand so you don't get behind.
5. Don't waste all your money at nightclubs.

Trying to remember if I've scored with five girls in my entire life

Goals are just disappointments waiting to happen

[nick]

Accomplishments are a direct result of goals. So are disappointments, sure, but most time you get something done it's a result you setting out to do it.
I dream a lot but never set any goals: let me use this public space to attempt to do so. Before the end of 2014:

1. Cop-semi responsibly. Leave some room in my bank account for paying student loans and accruing some wealth. I'll put this number around $3000 as my spending limit.
2. Start going back to the gym. Really, I need to. Lose 10 pounds. Look good.
3. Create *something*. I've been saying this for the past 5 years and haven't made much progress. Work on a personal coding portfolio. Record some songs. I can't continue spending all my free time just refreshing pointless internet pages. Also inspires my bad spending habits.
4. Find new friends to go drink, have fun, chill with - this is the hardest one, and it's not easy to just 'go out and find friends' when you're no longer in college :(

[jrisk]

For Sept, I want to

1. Finish this
2. Finish a freelance web project (hoping to this weekend!)
3. Pick up more PHP skills using codecademy - this is my biggest set-back at work.
4. start apartment shopping - starting saving for a bed?!
5. get out hiking more - (been meaning to hike mt monadnock for a while)
6. get out more/establish a core group of friends
7. finally make an appointment for an eye exam - don't know why I'm so incapable of doing this

[SteevMike]

1. reach 1k club
2. get leaner
3. eat less meat
4. finish codecademy
5. finish french duolingo
6. get a damn job
