Dear 43 Things Users,

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.

Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site “read only”. 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won’t be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year’s Eve takes us full circle.

It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years” - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we’ve always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.

As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

- The Robots.

How I did it
How to run 5k
It took me
5 months
It made me
very happy spacer

How I did it: Started 'running' in mid November. Was jogging 5, walking 2 for the first few weeks, then extended to running 10, walking 2 etc until i could run the whole way, very slowly. Found a running partner and upped runs from 1 to 2-3 per week. We prefer off-road runs whereas our running club prefers city runs, so we have a fantastic time exploring nearby woodland, hills (!) and heaths.Today decided to join an organised run and did 5k easily… Read how I did it…

How to sign with a top literary agent
It took me
2 years
It made me
delighted spacer

How I did it: Not by writing a book and mailing it straight out. I read and thought and wrote, edited, edited, edited some more. I read lots of authors who are very successful in my genre and constantly read great writers so that any influences were positive ones. Then I put together a letter to the agent telling her exactly why she and no other was the agent who was top of my list.

How to take the boys on Go Ape
It took me
1 day
It made me
Overjoyed! spacer

How I did it: Been wanting to take them for a long time, and they've wanted to go, but they'r eonly 9 and you can't start until you're ten. But yesterday on Open Weekend in UK, an outward camp opened its doors to the public (usually only booked groups are let in) and they had two Go Ape rigs - one for the under 10s. They harnessed up and did the whole thing without bottling a single section. One of my sons is very sporty and found it easy but the other… Read how I did it…

set up a family fitness challenge
Untitled

Every weekend this year we’ve done something outdoor and physical, from scrambling over felled trees in midwinter to a ten mile coastal hike, cycling in the woods, cricket games in the scorching sun, sea kayaking, lake fishing. It has been brilliant and we’ll keep it up forever.

Help children with homework
Untitled

Decided to work at helping my children get to grips with the schoolwork they didn’t yet get, such as multiplication tables, telling the time, some spellings. Bought some work books and have done some work with them regularly. The improvement has been great.
