101 in 1001

You know me, I "borrow" stuff I see on other people's blogs all the time. Well, here is my new one. This one is called 101 in 1001.

Here's the idea:
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.

I put my list up there for everyone to see in all its glory. If you are interested in using this idea as well, here is a web site to get more information and to help you do your goals. You will note that number 54 is "inspire someone else to do the 101 list" so if you decide to do one of your own, let me know so I can cross it off.

My plan is to update this site with my progress at least monthly to start with. I still need to do my action plans on each goal, but I have the list set up and ready to detail out.

I'm open for all comments and suggestions!
