43 Things to do in my life

There is an interesting website which is called 43 Things at http://www.43things.com. The concept behind this website is for people to document what are some things they want to do. It's a bit ambiguous whether these things are to represent more short term goals or long term goals. Some people have put down more long term goals, like "Be happy" while others have realized it is better to put more realistic, achievable goals. Not to say that "Be happy" is not an achievable goal, but in order to accomplish a long term goal, it would be good to document the short term goals which need to be done to achieve the long term goal.

Anyway, you don't have to document 43 things if you can't think of 43 things. I am up to 23 right now. The interesting part comes in that you can see how many other people have the same goal. You can then document comments about each goal and read other people's comments about them trying to achieve their goals. The website also provides common other goals for people who have the same goal. For example, it is not surprising that a common goal among people who want to learn Japanese is to go to Japan.

There's also a sister website called 43 Places, where you can list places you want to go... You can then see other people who the same desire to go to the same place as well as see comments from people who have already gone there.

An interesting website... How useful it is is another question, but it's still interesting.
