Day one
Well, I drank an entire bottle of Aquafina. Not my favorite kind of water, but it's a start.
I also started taking my 365 pictures. It was my kitty :).
I think I'm off to a good start with my 1001 days, but only time will tell.

I think I'm off to a good start with my 1001 days, but only time will tell.
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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
