Lists of Bests: Mallory's "101 things in 1001 days" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/6046 <b>The Mission:</b> Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. <B>The Criteria:</b> 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). <b>Why 1001 Days? </b> 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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. <a href="http://www.triplux.com/1001/otherlists.asp"> source</a> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 22:28:26 GMT
