Okay,
I stole this idea from my AWESOME friend Megan.
I decided it's a good idea and it will give me something to really focus on for the next two and 3 quarters of a year. so here it goes!
*************
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 my 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.
(I'm not numbering because blogger apparantly doesn't like it when I do.
But I promise there are 101!)

I LOVE IT! I am now doing that too!
That's a great idea. The one about Mario Kart made me laugh!
i love this idea! i have my bucket list on mine but you are so right, without a "deadline" they will just stay on my list. so now i'm going to think about putting one of these on mine..yikes, that means i actually have to do something! great idea. :)
This is a really good idea!! You have some great goals! You don't know me, but I'm connected with BreeAnn through Wes Anderson (my boyfriend). I read your blog sometimes (I swear I'm not a creep!!!) because you have some great posts! I really admire your decision about adoption! That takes true courage! I think you're a way cute girl and I want to thank you for setting such a great example!!
Hey you can mark of #57 now! woot woot!
I very quickly read most of these so I think I can help you with a few.
Anything musical like writing a song or learning to play the guitar, just come on over we have a billion guitars and a husband that is a musical genius who can help you write a song.
The other thing is that once I work for Jet Blue you can use my buddy pass to fly with my to NYC to see Wicked which will cross off fly in a plane AND see wicked (it's on my list of things to do too!!! Not that I have a list, but I just really want to see it!!!)...and you can visit my husband's family who's out of state! haha jk I know it said family member (although at first I thought it just said a family, I was a little confused). But just so you know...my buddy passes are reserved for VIP only! haha I won't get them for a while anyway and I have a feeling that the family probably won't use them anyway (except my father in law) and they're exclusively for family to visit us or for me to take someone to visit them (or to go to NYC with a friend since they probably won't use them anyway!) And we'd have a place to stay too! But I think I have to work there for a while to get the buddy passes.
I can also teach you how to use photoshop (have I ever told you that I LOVE photoshop? Well I think you already knew I made all my blog backgrounds in photoshop).
Crap I forgot to mention that my birthday is December 4th (for the huge surprise party thing!!!! haha jk) And also that I think that the babysitting for free thing is great and I think you should continue doing that goal! :D haha jk
