Don't know who started this. And don't know where I first saw it. SO I have none to give credit for inspiring me. BUT if you'd like to do this or want to see other 101 in 1001, go visit Triplux.

I have 1001 days to accomplish 101 things I always wanted to do.

Rules are easy...

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.

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 Focussed. 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.

Calculating the End Date

You can easily find out when your project will end by using this handy tool at timeanddate.com.

Adding a Date Countdown to Your Site

If you would like to add a countdown to your site the following Javascript can be used.

Simply paste the code where you want the countdown to appear and change the variable BigDay to the last day of the project. Change "March 12, 2008" for your Big 1001 day.

 <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">

 today = new Date();

 BigDay = new Date("March 12, 2008")

 msPerDay = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 ;

 timeLeft = (BigDay.getTime() - today.getTime());

 e_daysLeft = timeLeft / msPerDay;

 daysLeft = Math.floor(e_daysLeft);

 e_hrsLeft = (e_daysLeft - daysLeft)*24;

 hrsLeft = Math.floor(e_hrsLeft);

 minsLeft = Math.floor((e_hrsLeft - hrsLeft)*60);

 document.write(daysLeft + " days " + hrsLeft +" hours and
 " + minsLeft + " minutes left");

 </SCRIPT>

My 1001 Day Project ends on March 12, 2008.
