The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of effort on your part).

I was going to say, I didn't know you have a blog!

And then I saw that this was your first post and now I don't feel bad for not realizing you had one.

Keep blogging, yo. When people start blogs and never update them, that's lame.

Sooo.. is this ONLY for your 101 or are you really going to actually blog?

P.S. I think you should actually blog.

I would just like to comment that I agree with the previous comments.

I think it would be awesome if Sarah blogged. Isn't that #102 on your list?
