101 in 1001
The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e., no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e., 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.

Keep posted to see how I get on as I intend to share my progress here at On The Horizon. I'm very excited about this and I hope it goes better than my 60 Things To Do In 2015 went! The time scale (1001 days works out at just over two years, eight months) seems more realistic for the amount of goals set.
Wish me luck!
Charlotte.
