101 in 1001
Inspired by no_apologies_86, I've decided to take part in mission101.
The goal is to make a list of 101 tasks that you want to complete in the next 1001 days. All the things on your list should be specific and have a result that you can clearly define. So, "keep apartment clean" wouldn't work, but "maintain cleanliness of apartment weekly" would.
I am definitely the type of person that works harder and has a much better chance of success when a specific goal has been set. And putting that goal in writing is even better. I tried to give myself a mix of fun things, challenging things, and then a bunch of little things that I just never manage to get done. Here's to a productive 1001 days.
My end date is Saturday November 27, 2010. That seems SO far away!
