101 goals in 1,001 days

I'm jumping on the bandwagon. A bunch of my lady friends are doing this and so I thought, hey why not... I can set some goals as well :)

The idea comes from this site http://www.dayzeroproject.com/

Here is the mission:

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.

Here is my list! I plan to blog and track my goals on here. I have broken goals down into categories.

I plan to start my goals TODAY, so in 1,001 days it will be July 5th 2012!!! Wish me luck!
