The Challenge Begin's

Well it didn't take long for Drew's inspiration to spread. My wife Kimbra emailed me this just before lunch and just 4 hours later we have decided to take up the challenge. Drew is a good friend of my wife and his words have given Kimbra and I motivation to get out of our comfort zones and make life grand. Check out his list here.

Now, what is this challenge I speak of you ask? 101 Things in 1001 days

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.

So, Kimbra and I have decided to give ourselves until September 1, 2008 to create our list. That puts our finish date May 30, 2011 Check back as we begin this fantastic voyage through life over the next 1001 days (+23)
