101 in 1001
While reading blogs the other day I discovered Cows, Corn, & Country Girls and her 101 in 1001 challenge.
I am all for a challenge. I also need some goals to point me in the
direction. I want to go in. Everyone who knows me knows I adore list making. So
this challenge was right up my ally.
Here are the basic details of the challenge:
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).
Progress Tracking:
items will be crossed through when completed
Here is my list:

That's a great start! I think I've been seeing a ton more photos of the pets too, #96. I did a 28 before 29 list (so I made it early, I have just over a year to do 28 things) but a long list would be fun too! What's your finish date?
ReplyDeleteI shall cross number 96 off my list too then. My finish date is January 26.
DeleteI just posted mine today! I think I'll make the official start date November 1.
