I told Tasha about a project I am working on for my blog. It's called 101 in 1001 and the idea is to list 101 things you want to accomplish in the next 1001 days. My problem is that I only want to accomplish uninteresting-and-should-be-done-already-anyway type things (cleaning my car, organizing the closet, etc.)
So... I think this could be a good project for all of us to do. After all list are good things for refugees of Procrasti to have, right? Plus, you are all cool fun girls so I can be inspired by your lists and hopefully complete mine!
Here are the official instructions and my list so far.
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.

!!!! I love this idea! And I love the list you've got going so far! Excellent! I definitely want to participate!
ReplyDeleteAlso: I think it would be great if we each created a link in the sidebar of our 101 list, for easy access/updating.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I don't know how though.
ReplyDeleteI do... once we each post our list of 101 things I will link them in the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time with such long periods of time (2.75 feels so long to me!!)... but, this sounds fun! I'm game.
