101 Goals in 1001 days

I found a lot of bloggers out there have done or are doing this. I decided to give this a try myself so I can have a consolidated list of what I want to achieve over the 1001 day period. Here are the rules borrowed from The Simple Dollar:

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.

I am currently working on my list and once it is complete I will post it here. I plan to provide regular posts of my progress on the list. This should be a quite challenging and rewarding experience. Once the list is complete I will post it and the clock will start running from that point on!
