101 in 1001

I have joined the group of wonderful ladies on MSOS and chosen 101 tasks to complete in 1001 days. I'm really excited because 1) I love lists, probably more than I should and 2) I love anything self-improvement!

101 Goals in 1001 Days
Start Date: March 26, 2012
End Date: December 22, 2014

Last updated: March 26, 2012

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.
