Six years ago I wrote a similar list (mine was to write a thousand words a day - no matter what) and four books later I have a publishing deal and a book out.

Interestingly, I've just set my class the task of giving themselves some goals for this term! I don't think I'd better show them your list, as they might just give up now!
