Because I'm just a bit crazy

I discovered this great challenge. I need some motivation to get some things in my life done. Some are things that need to be done. Some are things I'd like to do, because, hey, they're fun or interesting.

So.

I'm challenging myself to do these 101 things in 1001 days.

Today it starts because today I made the list. And because today's the start, well, June 11, 2013 is the end. That seems like a long way away. We'll see how I do.

Things in italics are in progress and things that have a strike through them are complete. I will try to date them and have the date link to the post where I blog about what I did to complete that number. Ha. Because I'm compulsive like that. And unless it's a big thing to cross off or update, I'm going to try to only update once a week. We'll see how THAT goes. I feel like I'll either update way more than that or I'll let it all pile up (HELLO, procrastinator) and do it in a big lump when it feels overwhelming. Maybe one of the 101 should have been about procrastinating less.

You can find the list up there at the top - it has its own page. You'll see item 73 says I'll blog about each item. I'm not going to keep it to 101 posts...some of these challenges might need more than one post to do them justice!

I borrowed this from the Day Zero Project website:

The Challenge:
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 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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.

Want to play too? I like having company when I decide to do nutty things!
