101 Things in 1001 Days


So what is this all about?

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).

Visit Day Zero to find out more about the project and maybe create your own 101 list.
