Mission 101: Complete 101 things in 1001 days
Introduction
Idea taken from tixxana and Live Journal Community: mission101. After reading about this Mission101 on tixxana's LJ, I was inspired to do my own list and after I started compiling this, I started to feel so motivated and I'm going to hope I will stay motivated enough to actually go through and finish doing all the goals I've set (the first time I've actually set goals with a desire to complete).
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.
