I can’t believe I missed my second anniversary for this! We’re now over two years into this and so I’d better start making plans for some of the bits that I’m missing! I have continued on with a few of the bits on the list but you know how it gets.

The main reason for my post tonight is that this weekend sees my little boy celebrate his first birthday. This month has seen another huge first – my little girl’s first day at school. Those that know me well will be impressed that I did NOT cry. Surprised as well I should imagine!

Happy birthday to my darling boy xxx

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.
