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.
