101 in 1001 Days

I stumbled upon this website one night. Since, it continues to change my life!

The motivation for the creator of the Day Zero-The Home of the 101 Things To Do In 1001 Days Project was an article from Zen Habits. He suggests using The 6 Questions to Ask Yourself to Get the Most Out of Life as a starting point to coming up with ideas for self improvement on your list:
1. Who do I love, and what am I doing about it?
2. Am I pursuing my dream, or is fear stopping me?
3. Am I doing something that matters?
4. What am I doing to help others?
5. Am I as good a person as I want to be?
6. What am I doing to live life with passion, health and energy?


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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.


I'll be asking myself hard questions and for the first time in my life, living my desires!


In 1001 days, I'll be 7 months away from 30 years old!
