101 in 1001

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset goals or tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific, with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic, yet must represent some amount of work on your part.

Why 1001 Days?
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 opportunities to complete certain tasks.

GOAL SETTING TIPS:
Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it. Stay focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress. Welcome failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.
