I always catch myself saying stuff like "Someday, I want to" or "I really should start". So when Erica presented us with her 101 things to do in 1001 days;I got motivated! I figured, what a perfect opportunity to get the stuff done that I've been wanting to do.
Now, I am a little nervous.. because I am extremely competitive with myself! I like to accomplish the tasks that I set my mind to. As of now, I am 100% determined to complete as many of these tasks as possible. Hopefully, I won't be waking up at 2 am saying, "Did a take a picture of myself yesterday?!?"
I challenge everyone to make a list.. to see what they can accomplish in the next 1001 days.
My Challenge Begins Today!
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.
