[Public] I'm starting mission101. Wish me luck!
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED ON A FILTER SO YOU CAN FOLLOW MY PROGRESS, PLEASE COMMENT HERE AND I WILL ADD YOU TO THE LIST!
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).
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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

* Take pictures of the cool stuff this lady has before I stop house sitting for her. Seriously, it's awesome.
* Finish embroidering my old backpack so I can finally wash it.
* Make something of all the Christmas tree needles I saved.
Unfortunately, the things in the Travel, Entertainment, and Medical categories probably add up to more money than I can come by in 2.75 years, but we'll see. I may be able to combine some of the trips into one, and money -is- looking like less of an issue for 2008.
I will keep this list updated (I hope) so check back at any time to see how I am coming along!

Acts of Kindness (4 goals)
87. Feed someone's expired meter five times [0/5] Shortly after I began mission 101, they removed the meters from campus. And there aren't any in the area of the city where I live. And I wasn't about to travel just to do this.
88. Pick up trash along the road twice [1/2] (*) Still want to do this again sometime. Maybe as a BBBS event?
(1st time)
(2nd time)
89. Spend a weekend volunteering at an animal shelter (*) Turns out the shelters around here won't let you just volunteer for a weekend - they want a long term commitment, X hours per week, and applications are involved.
90. Become a "Big Sister" (*)
[Put in application]

99. Mail a secret to postsecret (*) I honestly don't know why I didn't do this one, it's so easy...
100. Go three consecutive days without using a computer by choice, not necessity[0/3]

Additional Goals - If I get them done, great. If not, oh well.
* Revamp my LJ user icons so I have fewer posts with the default icon - more icons for different situations. Added so far: Christmas icons, a Happy New Year icon
* Go to Europe [May 19 - May 26, 2008]
* Memorize Ryan's phone number in case of emergency
* Get the rest of my jewelry from Maine
* Put all my earrings on a hoop like mom has - it's pretty!
* Obtain and learn to use Photoshop
* Collect the first 20 Hardy Boys Mysteries (4 down, 16 to go!)
* Make a list of things I love about Ryan and give it to him for V-day
* Beat Katamari Damacy (It was a Christmas gift, so not around for the original list)
* Take pictures of the cool stuff this lady has before I stop house sitting for her. Seriously, it's awesome.
* Finish embroidering my old backpack so I can finally wash it.
* Make something of all the Christmas tree needles I saved.
Unfortunately, the things in the Travel, Entertainment, and Medical categories probably add up to more money than I can come by in 2.75 years, but we'll see. I may be able to combine some of the trips into one, and money -is- looking like less of an issue for 2008.
I will keep this list updated (I hope) so check back at any time to see how I am coming along!
