I believe that each of us has two sides: the doing side and the being side. They are both important, it's not like we can choose one.
For example, we can have the goal of running a marathon before June next year (that's the doing part). But why are we doing it? Because we like running and we want to be a runner? Because we want to be healthy? Because our friends are running it too and we want to be a supportive friend? Maybe someone once told us that we can't and we just want to be a rebel! Or maybe running is just our way to be in the moment.
Being is more about the habits, the little things we do every day, than about a single big achievement that we do and forget about it. So, while others have experimented quite a bit about goals, SMART goals, or New Year's Resolutions, I'm curious and I want to experiment with what happens if we define the habits we are forming as the starting point for defining the goals later.
This website is inspired by the long defunct website 43things.com, which was my favourite social network until its closure in 2014. But I don't want to make a copy of it. I want to develop a fresh project that builds on its philosophy to create something new.
I'm currently developing the Android app, and I will be soon creating the website.
Would you be interested in joining the alpha tester group?
