taking part in another challenge. It's pretty much a giant to-do list with a deadline. I'm not in competition with anyone else. Although there are tons of other people doing this. These are things I want to do and have completed within the 1001 days. Hopefully, I'll be able to complete everything on the list. If not, that's ok too.


The Mission
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria
Tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic.

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.

Want to join me?
Make a list of your own 101things in 1001 days. Send me a link to your blog.
