I have a long list of chores and projects I wanted to get done. Lately I was toying with placing them all on a Google Calendar but then I read of the Day Zero 101 Project and knew it would be a fun way to track my goals to completion.
Here is a little bit about the project:
Via: Day Zero Project
The Challenge:
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 your part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple challenges such as New Year’s resolutions or a ‘Bucket List’. 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, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
