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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Day Zero.

I know I'm crazy for starting another list and another blog, but after seeing my sister's list it inspired me to do the same. I will try to update this often (as well as keep of with my many other blogs), and I will also attempt to do so with photos. Wish me luck!

If anyone is interested, the website for the "official" 101 in 1001 days project is here!
