In September 2011, I began a 101 in 1001 challenge. The mission is to complete 101 preset tasks, in a period of 1001 days. The tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and must represent some amount of work on your part. This is similar to a bucket list, but by setting a realistic deadline, it allows you to beat the procrastination. 1001 days (which is about 2.75 years) is a better time period than a year, because it allows you multiple seasons in which to complete the tasks. This makes organizing and timing tasks much easier. For more information, visit Day Zero Project.
