Rules and Regulations

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.

I chose to begin a 101 project after my sister told me she was creating a list. Not only did I want to help her in some of her adventures, but I also wanted to have some of my own! :) Over the past, oh, month or so, I've created a list of 101 adventures, need-to-do items, self-improvement tasks, random things, food-related pursuits, sports adventuers, and the like to be completed over the next 2.75 years.
