Complete 101 predetermined tasks in 1001 days (roughly 2.75 years).
The Criteria
Tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching.
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 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.

You'll notice that #100 is listed as private. I will not reveal that one, per request of the hubby. I reserve the right to fill that in by the date specified. I also have the right to change these if my circumstances change (Kristal changed a lot of hers when she got pregnant, for example). This does not mean that I can change something just because I'm not going to complete it.
