101 Things for Keli: 101 things in 1001 days...

101 things in 1001 days...

The mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in 1001 days

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific ( i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represents work on my part.

Why 1001 days? Many people have created list in the past-frequently simple goals such as New years 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 organizing and timing some tasks as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

101 things in 1001 days...

Ken found this on the internet and we decided to give it a try...I would really like, to like myself more :) and I know that when I accomplish things I am happier. This seems like something I can be successful at...well...we will see.

The list of my 101 things is in the right column. I am going to attempt to blog about the experience as I complete each task...hmm...I guess if I am going to blog about each thing then really I am attempting 102 things. I am such an over achiever! :)
