Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
Taken From: Day Zero
I am making my own 101 List. I took great care in making sure the tasks with both realistic and specific. My list is almost complete...and I have to say it looks like I am going to have a heck a lot of a fun these next 2.75 years! I am going to blog my progress here...hopefully with pictures!
I encourage you to make your own 101 things list (makes a great New Year's Resolution!)...I would love to have someone else who is going to do this with me so we can share stories, and even help each other out.
I need volunteers for many things on this list. If you see anything that requires another person and would like to help me with that, please let me know!
Here's the list. It's not quite complete...
