Today is the Day

Today is the day that I start my 101 in 1001.  I can't wait to get this list started!  You can follow my progress over on my side bar.

Here they are again:

Ok, after A LOT of thought and reading other people's lists, here is my 101 goals that I would like to accomplish in 1001 days.  To find out more about this project, you can go to:  The Day Zero Project.

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).
