Next year I'm going to start a new project: 101 things in 1001 days (day zero project). This is a project to set and achieve 101 goals in a period of 1001 days.
Some more information about the project:
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.

It sounds challenging, but I really want to do it. I want to be able to cross things off a to do list. I want to be complete goals and improve my life. I am a person who postpones everything. Maybe this list will help me change that.
Some examples of things that could be on a 101 list:
Leave an inspirational note inside a book for someone to find
Do a bungee jump

Do a bungee jump
Make a list of 100 things that make me happy
Photograph a landscape from the same location, capturing all four seasons
Please share your ideas for my list! They are more than welcome. I am planning on starting the project on 01-01-2010.

Wat een ongelofelijk leuk idee!:D Wauw, ik word hier helemaal vrolijk van. Even denken, wat zou je nog meer kunnen doen..
- meer van de wereld zien? Nog specifieke wensen?
- iets voor het goeie doel? Bijvoorbeeld een dag voedsel uitdelen in Amsterdam of iets
- Internationale contacten leggen
- collectie cd's uitbreiden tot een bepaald aantal
- een maand lang fair trade producten eten
wauw, best een hoop dingen die er te doen zijn nog! Ik blijf nog denken hoor.. maar ondertussen maak ik even mn presentatie voor morgen af:P
Nummer 1: sneeuwengeltjes maken met Nico in het goffertpark! :)
Thanks for the lovely comment :)
This sounds like a really good idea! I wish I'd set myself something to do like this. Good luck with your goals.
