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

I love making lists and crossing off completed goals so it seems fitting to make a long term list of things I want to achieve(at least longer than the regular to-do list I've got going now which all needs to be done by next week). The credit for creating the Day Zero project(as well as the Tumblr website linked above) goes to Michael Green. Thanks so much for inspiring so many people, including me, to go for their goals not just one time, but over and over again.
I began listing things that I wanted to complete well before I got around to typing all this up so a couple of them may already be in the works, but I'm listing today as the start date to make it official.
Start Date: Thursday, January 27, 2011
End Date: Thursday, October 24, 2013
