Let the journey begin...

Creating your own 1001 Day Project
a
a
The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
a
a
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.

Could I please be a part of number 97? I would love to share that memory :oD. and of course, you could probably knock out number 56 getting here, and then I could help you on your way to number 19 while we hung out in Chicago. eh? eh?
