The 101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge

[vampiresincowboyboots]

As part of my recovery from Post Partum Depression, I've been doing a lot of thinking about who I am, who I want to be and what I want to do with my life. Whilst doing this, I discovered the The 101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge at https://dayzeroproject.com

Day Zero started out with the catchy challenge of completing 101 things in 1001 days. This has been enormously popular with tens of thousands of people getting involved and sharing their lists. We now offer many more types of challenges, but here are the original guidelines for the challenge:

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).
