101 Things in 1001 Days!
The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic.
To mix things up and get things moving in life, I've taken the challenge with mission101_2009 to complete 101 things in 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) because not only is it a reasonable amount of time, the different time of year (and different years) will suit some of the tasks I have listed.
So starting from January 1 2009 to September 29 2011, here is my OSM 101 list!
