I’m currently participating in a Day Zero Project called 101 in 1001. There are 101 things that I want to accomplish in 1001 days. I just hope that as the years go on and I grow more mature that I can update this list to meet new goals and that I can accomplish every single one. However, I threw in a donation clause to my list… just in case I get lazy and don’t do everything I’ve set out to.
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).
Started: February 3, 2010
