Project Acorn

[saxikath]

Hey, some of you out there reading this: remember Project Acorn?

Project Acorn was an attempt by a group of friends/acquaintances to be each others' support system for reaching goals, for doing things we needed and/or wanted to do. The name came from VenJen, or was it Rach? Now I don't remember for sure, but anyway, it came from the "great oaks from little acorns grow" image.

Everyone listed their goals, divided, as I recall, into three categories: immediate goals (finish that skirt by next week, send off an application form), mid-term goals (get into shape, write an article), and dreams, things on the "things to do before I die" list (walk across Spain, write the Great American Novel).

It kinda died out; we didn't really follow up. But anyone out there want to restart such a thing? I feel like I need someone to give me a kick in the pants occasionally, and goodness knows, coming up with things to do about problems/goals/ideas is easier with someone to bounce them off of.

So, who's up for Project Acorn II? Whether you were part of Project Acorn I or not.

Ooh, can I play? I always do better at accomplishing stuff if I've promised somebody I'd do it; I have a lot harder time holding myself to a goal if it's just for me. (Sorta like cooking actual meals instead of just heating stuff up, if you'll cast your mind back...) I don't know if Acorn I was just a local endeavor or what, but if I can be a delegate-at-large, count me in.
