101 in 1001

101 in 1001;  I’ve done this before, and I didn’t do as many as I wanted BUT then again I didn’t finish the 1001 days either. But a LOT can change in 1001 days! 1001 days ago was Monday, January 19, 2009, and my 2nd EVER blog post! If you want to take a look at that click here, go on I’ll wait!
Back? Okay so Here is the Description of the project from the Website:
The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (i.e.. 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 new start date is Monday, October 17, 2011 so my new completion day is going to be Monday, July 14, 2014; and I hope that I have a lot of the things done on my list by then! I even added an update on the 101 in 1001 list every month!

Items in Pink have been completed.
Items in Purple can no longer be completed in this time frame.
Items in Blue are things I decided I didn’t want to do after all.
