101 things in 1001 days
I started a 101 in 1001 list a while ago, but looking back at it, it was pretty unrealistic. This one, I hope is at least slightly better in the realism category.
From mission101 :
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 effort on your part).
My list was started on January 3, 2010 and will end on September 30, 2012 (1001/1001 days left)
