While surfing six or months ago, I came across this site. At the title of this post suggests, individuals/groups are challenged to complete a list of 101 tasks in 1001 days. I make lists, I love lists, I live lists. I think I would not get anything done with out the list, I have even made lists of my lists, neurotic maybe, effective usually. The underlying idea suggests that given a short period of time, a list of tasks appears overwhelming, but given approximately 2.74 years much may be accomplished. The 101 tasks may better be referred to as goals, which should be measurable in some manner, realistic, and represent some amount of effort on my part. The following goal: learn Icelandic is a bit vague. How will one know if one has learned the Icelandic language? However, learn to read an children’s storybook in the Icelandic language is measurable, especially if one picks the book ahead of time and lists the title as a goal. Many of the lists I browsed had large, lofty, expensive goals. I make no judgments of others, only a defense of my simple list, relatively inexpensive, extremely practical. I have many things I would like to get done around the house and I would like interesting topics to blog about so I thought, combine them.

I expect my list to evolve over time as I have never attempted to plan much further than the end of my nose. In my formative years, I would attempt to set goals for my future, but more than one ideal crashed against the rocks of reality. In more recent years, I use a calendar to schedule important activities and leave the rest to happenstance. I am not sure how I will document it all. I will make occasional updates here, however, I think I will keep my list private for now. My list should will be completed by 2 May 2008.
