101 in 1001 Project

I’m a list loving fool. Its true… very true! I’ve inspired by my friend Carrie from the Bitsy Button to create a super list! a 101 in 1001 list!

What exactly is a 101 in 1001 list? Well… its a project that was originally inspired by Design Darling and has now taken on a life of its own at DayZeroProject.com.

The Details -> Complete 101 tasks in 1,001 days (2.75 years). Most of the tasks are not focused on money or material purchases, but more on the experiences I want to have in my life. Some are realistic goals like learning spanish or train for a 5k. Others are more whimsical, like going on a winery tour or go on a girls weekend away. I’m going to up the ante a little bit… for every task I complete I’m going to put $10 in a special account so that I can go on an extra special trip with my hubby in 2.75 years! 🙂

Why? -> 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. So 101 tasks in 1001 days it is!
