In order to make my list, I got ideas from Katie's list, this list that she linked to, and also checked out this website. The tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. They need to be realistic and stretching or in other words take a fair amount of work on my part.
If you'd like to join me on this challenge, I would be so pleased! I will be blogging about my progress on these, of course, and maybe even figure out some sort of link to let you join in on sharing your progress. We'll see if I'm that technologically capable! hee hee
