The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. This is my second attempt at this project, so this is a new list as of May 24, 2011. It includes some previous goal as well as some new ones. Wish me luck!
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).
