101 in 1001

[andraste_luna]

The Mission:
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).

I promise:

1. To blog about my progress
2. To not forget about the project in a few months
3. Be flexible rather then discouraged
