<p>heh</p>
<p>NoFX: Yes, pretty much. It's amazing how helpful it is to put things down in a list. To have a community of people who share your goals that can offer support? That's priceless.</p>
<p>And yes, I am Ashley. :)</p>
<p>cherrybarry: Obviously this one has a ways to go. ;)</p>
<p>ok I'm janejane!</p>

<p>what is this thingy and how do u do it?</p>
<p>43things.com is a website someone came up with in September 2004. The basic idea is to create an account, where you will list 43 things you'd like to accomplish in any given time frame.</p>
<p>For example, among my 43 things: get a driver's license, drink 8 glasses of water a day, get an apartment, travel the world, get published.</p>
<p>Obviously these aren't all goals I can accomplish overnight. Some you can, such as "get a gmail account" or "make firefox your default browser."</p>
<p>Why do this list online? So you have a community of people around you who are pursuing similar goals, people who can help you and cheer you along. Some goals -- particularly the broad, "American dream"-esque ones -- have over 1,000 people seeking to complete them. Some are individualized and very specific. </p>
<p>Join up and check it out for yourself!</p>
<p>(Thanks for the cheers. :D)</p>
<p>Was it really created that recently?</p>
<p>To my knowledge. The owner is putzing around with his own account; one of his goals is to open and keep a business for 2 years. I recall reading that September 2004 is when it went live, but I could be wrong. In any case, he hasn't yet completed the goal to keep a business for 2 years, so that'd be my guess!</p>
<p>I'm justthreelastwords :)</p>
<p>im subscribed to all 3 of you! ..im not stalking you..
I have already started persuing half of my goals! how addictive</p>
<p>I am kinkbicycles</p>
<p>NoFX, yeah, going to that site more often is making me pursue my goals better. I'm already looking in to donating blood or platelets next week.</p>
<p>I like it, it really does help you achieve goals and such!</p>
<p>I love it...</p>
