1001 Days

◘ 101 THINGS in 1001 DAYS

101 Things in 1001 Days is the brainchild of Michael Green, a blogger and developer from NZ. He created a list of tasks to achieve within a defined period, and the idea quickly spread around the web as a tool for helping people accomplish their goals. This community was created for those beginning their challenge on January 1st, 2009. It exists so that we can share our goals, motivate and congratulate each other as we make our way through our lists.

◘ 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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
