The idea is simple.
Each month, we identify four projects or goals.
I'll pick one for myself. Joanna will pick one for herself. I'll pick one for Joanna. She'll pick one for me.
By the end of the month, they all need to be complete. Thirty days to complete four projects.
Two parameters:
1) The project needs to be something that can be obviously "completed." It needs to have a clear, discernible end-point that serves as a stake-in-the-ground. When it's complete, it should be obvious.
2) The project should be something that would likely not be completed within the month without significant effort. This doesn't mean it's necessarily a complex, difficult, or time-intensive goal. But it does mean that it's a goal that, for one reason or another, probably wouldn't get done otherwise.
Can publicly declaring goals ensure that they will be met? Let's get started and find out.
