52 projects



This "52 projects" thing sounds really fun, especially when some of the "projects" suggested seem, on the surface, actually quite "pointless" but take on a deeper meaning when you are willing to think about them for a while... at the very least, i can imagine how they can help to break the monotony of daily existence..

have you ever come up with a list of "Personal Projects" that you wanted to do? I remember (now that we are at the tail-end of this year) that around January this year, a group of close friends and I sat down for dinner and we wrote out some "personal projects" that we each wanted to do in the course of calender year 2003..

i can't remember why we didn't want to call these ideas "New Year's Resolutions".. anyway, we called them "Projects" and they included stuff like "setting up a PC", "learning web designing", "having an exhibition", "cataloguing our collection of books", "writing for a magazine" etc.. none of these are "mega-projects" (like writing a book etc) that can take a whole lot longer to complete... maybe a 3 to 5 year time frame??

anyhow, i'm quite looking forward to getting together with this bunch of friends again soon to see how much each of us have accomplished this year.. *gulp* and also to hear what excuses we have for not getting around to doing some of these projects.. i sure have a few i know i never got around to doing..

p r o c r a s t i n a t i o n ? or just distracted??
