Day Zero Project {101 in 1001}

Share

This part stolen from Amanda…
The Challenge:
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 your part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple challenges such as New Year’s resolutions or a ‘Bucket List’. 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, study semesters, or outdoor activities.

My start date is: November 4th 2011

End date: August 1st 2014 (If I did my math right)

    Wow! That’s a lot of stuff! Good thing you have 2.75 years. But, it all seems fun and do-able!! Love that you want to meet 5 bloggers in person. ;) Maybe I should come up with a list. I’m not too sure about “stretching” myself at this point. The list is kind of scary, isn’t it. . . trying to think of things that you might be kind of timid to try. Definitely need to make a list! Following you now to see how it goes. Good Luck and Have fun!
