I think it's great you want to continue the TIF challenge on your own. I'll be watching for them.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867112701783092241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-43935912603204177752008-12-11T19:25:00.000-08:002008-12-11T19:25:00.000-08:00If you really want some surprise challenges just a...If you really want some surprise challenges just ask one of us blog readers to offer one about a week before the month comes up. Or, you could ask just if you can't come up with one in a month. We wouldn't like to see you fail because you run into a blank wall. <BR/><BR/>I'm finding it hard work to stick with the BJP this year yet I still want to do it. Crazy feeling but so far I am determined to stick with it even if I am behind now. That's a challenge in itself for me as like you, I never liked goal setting and didn't often meet them when I was younger.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-86210551458959315062008-12-11T14:22:00.000-08:002008-12-11T14:22:00.000-08:00Hi Sue, good luck with the goal setting.

Probably was born a rebel at heart and not much has changed. I don't mean being ornery, but I hate being "managed".<BR/>All that being said, I have loved seeing your take it further challenge pieces. I think it would be wonderful if you decide to do again on your own. How about 12 zodiac signs? Or the 12 months of the year? That's about all I can think of that comes in "a dozen" except for eggs and donuts.

I remember being presented with this at about 40, and it had something to do with written goals being more likely accomplished.Possibilities, Etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00301188397987608400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-75952616802988051912008-12-09T04:13:00.000-08:002008-12-09T04:13:00.000-08:00I never liked making goals.

Maybe lists are easier because they are more short term and usually involve finishing things.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083924435653058457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-66546610383468228022008-12-09T00:48:00.000-08:002008-12-09T00:48:00.000-08:00I'm not a goal person which is probably why I am s...I'm not a goal person which is probably why I am so disorganised and never know what day of the week it is, never mind the date!<BR/><BR/>I admire you for setting your own TIF and will be interested to see what you come up with.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344963200919601488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-15211682303048599222008-12-08T23:43:00.000-08:002008-12-08T23:43:00.000-08:00I love your phrase "recovering perfectionist".

And your band sampler is looking good.<BR/>I too am terrible at the "goal" thing. I hated it in school. But I admire you for trying to do your TIF challenge by yourself. It would be very hard for me to do it at all, and I would have a problem staying motivated too. Good luck! I think you've done real well this year.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.com
