The Challenge: Complete 101 predetermined specific tasks within a period of 1,001 consecutive days
Why the 1,001 days? From what I can tell it is to allow for planning on some items and not be overwhelming.
So why am I doing it? Well, there are a lot of things that I would like to do. Having no deadline to complete them in leaves procrastination to kick in so I am hoping this will provide the motivation that I need to get some of these things completed. Also, when I was thinking about this yesterday I googled to see what my end date would be. If I start today, my end date will be the day before my daughter's 17th birthday. Seems like a good enough time for me to get this going.
