Half Way There..

Well today is one day past the half way of February mark. Which means I am half way to completing my challenge to post every day for a month (And so far only resorted to several meme’s to fill posts.).

Now if a lot of exciting stuff can happen in the next 14 days I may just be able to manage this. And get onto the more import things like working out holidays to take before April…

101: Post an entry to LJ every day for a Month

Well as part of my 101 tasks in 1001 days challenge I am attempting to post to LJ every day for a month.  Well it seemed like an easy task to put on the list to make up numbers (easy at the time!!!)  and to cheat even more I am doing it in February (the shortest month of the year!!) So expect a month full of mindless drivel, meme’s, etc.

Oh. Before anyone points it out! there is a post yesterday, its just very selectively locked!!!

New Year Resolutions or 101 in 1001 days

Well since I failed miserably keeping last years resolutions, I have decided to follow the crowd and do the 101 tasks in 1001 days thing thats going around. I figured it may be easier to stick to, and be interesting to have a list of challenges to complete. Now I just need to come up with them, I’ve made a start, and

stolen ideas

err taken inspiration from other peoples lists.

But still have a few to go, its not easy coming up with 101 items. (EDIT: Down to 31 to pick)
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).

Why 1001 Days?
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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
