The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on your part).
The list was completed on New Year's Day, so 1001 days from now will be September 28, 2010. I'll be 29 years old by the time I finish these, so let's go!
