101 things…

Yay for a few more down on the list… 5/7/2009

pozole, applesauce, suntea, georgie swimming, grow tomatoes and locate my aunt maureen. enough said, eh. I don’t think I need to explain any of these. Oh, I haven’t talked to my Aunt since 2001. I located her. She’s still in CA. Not in Italy, like everyone said. That’s all.

So, I managed to fulfill two of my 101 things. I finished Georgie’s mobile and I organized all my pictures on my computer. I think I deleted hundred of copies of pictures that I had on here. It is all nice and neat and organized now. Yay for motivation!

My 101 things in 1001 days

This is my page for my 101 things to do in 1001 days.

The Mission:
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 my 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 seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
