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).
So my friend Suzy has inspired me to create my very own Day Zero Project. She created one a week or so ago and you can read all about it here. If you know me, you know I make lists... I consider it my own type of therapy. Making this list was fun and completing it will be challenging!
