My 101 in 1001

I saw this on a few other blogs and wanted to do it. Everyone needs goals and this makes them small, manageable ones. Plus, it's a list. And you know my feelings about those. ;D

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. I believe the original site for the project was here.

Start: Monday, July 14, 2008
End: Monday, April 11, 2011 (wow, that seems like such a long way away)
