About My Project

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 your 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.

Website Info:
This website is simple to navigate around. To view my 101 Goals list, click here. When I complete a task in full or in part (such as visiting one state instead of 50 as a whole), I will make a new post. The posts can be viewed by clicking on the task/book/movie/state. I will describe in detail how and when the task was completed as well as throw in some comments about its difficulty or lack thereof.

Fifth Day

Today I finished a thesis for my English Literature class that I had been working on all week. Seven down, one more to go.

I really have yet to read beyond the Introduction in my Sociology book. Hopefully I will be able to finish it by the end of next month. I am beginning a new semester on the 15th of January so I won't have a lot of homework. English Lit and Speech will be over. Those are my two most difficult classes, and frankly, I am relieved that I won't have to prepare another speech or write another 150-line essay on one of Shakespeare's tragedies until college.

Today the random Wikipedia article was on a the song that made Lindsey Lohan famous in the music industry. It was quite short, but it was interesting nonetheless. The Bible reading was on Job 6-9. Job's pain and agony continues as he denounced his friends' attempts at trying to make him feel better. He continues to wish he was never born and he is still mighty depressed.

I also watched Gone With The Wind tonight with my mother. I really enjoyed the movie. You can read my thoughts on the movie by clicking the link next to its name in the movie list.

Stay classy, fellow bloggers.
