The challenge
Complete 101 preset tasks (mine are listed below) in 1001 days.
When I first saw the 101 in 1001 I was intrigued- mainly because lets face it I LOVE goals! And then I thought why would it be 1001 days, seems like an awful long time to me... then I read more about the Day Zero Project and realised that 1001 days is much better than my New Years resolutions that I have made each year and failed to complete. Some goals are just to hard to achieve in one year- they make take time to get started and may involve a lot of actions to complete. 1001 days (approx 2.75 years) is better than a year because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks. For example going overseas takes time to plan and time to save, studying usually involves more than two semesters and some outdoor activities are better in winter, others in summer.
