So, after much thought on the items on this list, some have been taken off, and some retooled, while others have been expanded, others contracted, and some left blank until I decide what else I want to accomplish. Mostly it's pretty much what my original list was, though--just with more white space (for now). I still have 449 Days to get as much done as I can...
New Color Key: In Progress and Completed
So, what is all this? Well, follow this link to the Day Zero site, and you can read more about it.
Creating your own 1001 Day Project
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.
