It all started with a tweet in December. The night before SNS v. 1.0 had discussed 2010 plans for the action team and I thought: “Wouldn’t it be fun, if I created a new group with fun girls? Maybesomeday”
The very next day one of my favourite knitters and flickr contacts replied to a tweet, telling me she admired the SNS group and would be keen to start a new group.
SNS v. Fun Girls was born!
Named fun girls, because that is who we are. More specifically, we are:
Caro. I’ve been following her blog and using her amazing box bags for some time. I was very flattered she wanted to join the group and I’m very excited to get to know her better. Caro is working on world domination for her business, Splityarn. her first book!book!book! is going to be released by a really impressive publisher later this year!
Danielle, is a bona-fide fun girl and she is clearly the highest energy of our new group. Marathon training? check. Coaching synchronized swimming? Check. Demanding job at a high profile institution? check. For Danielle, balance is my crazy busy day and she jumped into SNS with the enthusiasm & energy, I imagine, she uses to tackle any project.
StitchyMcYarnpants (aka Deb) is Caro’s partner in world domination (and book publishing). She’s using SNS to manage her busy life, the process of book publishing, creating a podcast and (we hope) moving an old, broken, stove out of her kitchen. See her work as the curator of kitschy stitches on her blog, here:

We’ve meet twice and it’s quickly become one of the highlights of my week. These girls are FUN!! I’v found it interesting, with my extraordinary (snort) six months experience as a SNS alumni to see these fun girls experience how the action setting techniques can help achieve goals. I asked for their first impressions about Sunday Night Success, and they include:
- How helpful the process of writing down action items every week is. It’s a little meditative, to sit down, relax, think about the upcoming days in terms of planning & prioritizing.
- There are no items too small for the list. Breaking down activities to be low, low energy items that can be knocked off the list in the blink of an eye is an easy strategy to Get Stuff Done.
- Accountability rocks!
[...] buried in productivity today. I love this feeling, where i’ve accomplished what my SNS group, The Fun Girls, calls “hard things”. Several of them, I lost track of time, and I feel [...]
