101 in 1001

All updates will be included on the 101 in 1001 page.

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 am using my list to challenge me to release some bad habits, to gain some good rituals. I hope to challenge myself physically, mentally, creatively and spiritually. Start date was February 18, 2008 and the finish date will be November 15, 201o — my 25th wedding anniversary.
