101 in 1001 Days Life Challenge

The Bucket List is one that is talked about over and over again...I have one but I have never considered when I would get around to any of it so this sounds right up my alley. I have several friends who are also tackling this same challenge, check out their lists Torrey Kristle and Brittney.

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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

The Start Date:
1/1/13

The End Date:
9/27/15
