I was inspired by a friend of mine to do this. Set out to accomplish 101 things in 1001 days. I have compiled my list of goals and set the the date of MARCH 8, 2011 to complete them. My list is to the right of my postings.
I stole the following guidelines from my friend's blog.
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 organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
Some common goal setting tips:
1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.
2. Stay Focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.
3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy.
4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.
5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.

Hey Lady,
Love your new picture!
how is your summer going? My mouth is still watering from that cheezy deliciousness you made at the Andersons. Let's get together again so you can make it. tee hee.
Hey yeah maybe on the balloon festival... but we actually went to that one a few years ago so I dunno if we'll be able to do it again. We should be at the Chatfield one in September though.
