stolen idea from thetathx1138
The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
start date: Saturday, February 16, 2008
end date: Saturday, November 13, 2010
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.
1. Make a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.
2. Keep track of said list and progress.
