Ok .. lets try this again
[This list] expired last August .. and the last thing on the list is to start another one. It was really tough coming up with 101 things the first time, so this might be a progressive list. The first 33 are from my original list. I’ll just add on any new things as I think them up. Feel free to leave comments of anything you think I should add on
Also if you want to make your own list [click here] .. I like to go through the other lists for inspiration for my list
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.
My 1001 Day Project ends on Saturday, October 15, 2011
