PROJECT 52

What is a goal without a project?  What is a project without a goal?  Call it whatever you like but Project 52 is a fun way to make goals to accomplish whatever you want to do during the next year.

Here's how it works:  Make a 52 "to-do" list and try to work on one project every week.  And then blog about your adventures every Monday with me and Karen.

It makes succeeding fun and easy.  Plus, it's always better with support!
