101 things in 1001 days.

11:28 PM, November 8, 2008

I found this site a few years ago and was intrigued but never got around to it. I think now I’m going to make a list and set about tackling it. Since the site explains it best, here is what the project is:

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.

Hmm…the old brain is starting to clickity-clack. Let’s see…Europe will be on it for sure, what else?

Anyone else interested in this should post their lists in the comments, or at least a few ideas they’d throw on it! I’ll get back with mine soon enough.
