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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
aj's comments
I found this via a random perusal of baisleac's lj... And you know, she's got a good point in using this as an opportunity to make changes in life. We've just moved into the house, I'm turning 37 this year, and if I want to make the changes, I need to set the goals, right? So this makes sense to set out some of those goals far more concretely like this. And perhaps having some encouragement can't hurt, n'est-ce pas?
So I'm starting this list today, 4 October 2006, and will work to complete it by 30 June 2009.
