Task 94…

I’ve just updated this task – originally it said a list of things I love about my family. However – where do you start and end with such a task and as Simon has recently done this for me as part of something I’m involved with, I thought I’d return the favour – I also know that as he has this coming into his feeds everytime I submit a new post that he’ll read it…

He’s not just my lover, husband, father of my children etc, but my best friend.
He’s always there for me – even though I don’t always understand why.
He’s as untidy as me!
His sense of humour.
His mother for housetraining him
That he’s given me two amazing children.
He keeps me sane (at a push).
He encourages me to try new foods etc even when he knows how nervous I am.
He’s not bothered about my book collection (and in fact has been known to encourage it.
He calms me down when it’s needed.

Simon I love you lots and although I don’t always show my appreciation it’s there. Thank you for continuing to be my side even when I’m causing chaos in our lives.

101 in 1001 – what’s it 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).
_______________________________________________

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.
