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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
Michael Green, a New Zealander, originally did this back in 2003 and wrote a blog post about it. It gained so much attention that it eventually became a Social Network Project. Now, I am joining in this Social Network Project! I will post semi-regularly to let you know how I am doing at completing my 101 things over the next 1001 days.
Actually, I plan to begin on June 1, 2013 and will end on February 26, 2016. Look for my actual list to be posted on June 1st!
