Some of the tasks I have assigned for myself are not tasks at all, but rather guidelines to follow. Many of these are realistic, while others are frankly impossible. I failed these guidelines in the first few weeks of this project. I have altered these guidelines slightly to make them more realistic, as well as a few other tasks.
By being fairly fluent, I mean that I can make simple conversation.
001. Become fluent in French -> Become fairly fluent in French
002. Become fluent in German -> Become fairly fluent in German
003. Become fluent in Spanish -> Become fairly fluent in Spanish
Viscoldi has yet to yield any words at all, so fluency is impossible.
005. Become fluent in Viscoldi -> Begin creating Viscoldi Dictionary
Uhh... This is really just impossible...
007. Learn 500 new English words (approx one new word every other day) and import it into ML -> Learn 100 new English words and import them into ML
Because of the change in number 7, number eight is complete irrelevent, so I can't even change it to something relating to the first.
008. Practice those words in MemoryLifter on non-word-learning days -> Learn 100 new Spanish words and import them into ML
This prooved to be a hassle, as well as be very boring.
011. Read the "Random article" on Wikipedia every day -> Read the "Random article" on Wikipedia every day for a month
I don't actually have "365 Days of Skywatching" and in seven months' time, 10 star-views have proven difficult to attain.
012. Star-view in accordance with "365 Days of Skywatching" 100 times -> Star-view 50 times
Even though I was accepted to UWMC, I decided to go to UW Milwaukee (a more prestigious school anyway). Also, I don't know if getting my Master's would be worth the while.
015. Complete both years at UWMC and apply and be accepted to another university to obtain my masters -> Continue on the path toward earning my Bachelor's Degree
016. Retake the ACT and score a 32 or higher -> Retake the ACT and score a 30 or higher
I'm no longer moving back to Wausau.
084. Take a whole day at the Milwaukee County Zoo before I move back up north -> Take a whole day at the Milwaukee County Zoo
Stay classy, fellow bloggers.
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.
