And So It Begins.

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.

This idea (more information at http://www.dayzeroproject.com/) comes at a time in my life when I'm ready to change a few things, try a few new things, and do a few things that are just plain fun. My intent is to blog regularly about the process, and hopefully by June 16, 2012, I'll have some stories to tell, pictures to share, and a whole collection of good memories.
