This is a jaunt from the posts I regularly create. Enjoy!
Day Zero Project is the home of the 101 in 1001 which was made to inspire people by having them write down 101 goals and set out to achieve them.
(From the website)
The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on your part).
Why 1001 days?
Many people have created lists in the past--frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a "Bucket List." 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 such tasks as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
I got this idea from Shari Henson {Shari Henson Photography}, a friend from high school. My list is in no particular order. I had so much fun making it even though it was harder to do than I thought.
Without further ado, here is my list.
If you make one, please let me know because I want to read it!
