101 in 1001 days

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.

Goal #18 FINITO!

We did it! Got the "Homework Corner" done, connected, and ready to go. You'll have to ignore the stuff on the wall... it was already there and doesn't have a new home yet. This area has already made homework times easier, and the kids will have a central area to go for their supplies, or to do research on the net, or just amuse themselves while I make dinner. There are a couple of really fun sites that I let my Kindergartener use while I need to have some uninterrupted time...

His current recommendation: http://www.starfall.com/
And yes, you do see TWO computers set up there. I put my old laptop there for now, to get all my old files off it. For some reason, it stayed.
Proof!

    I love that starfall site. I think I found it a few years ago when Abbey was beginning to learn how to write her name. They have great stuff over there. =) Nice study corner. We need one of those for my sanity. Our kitchen table is our study corner.

    And, I now see why it is that you get dizzy when we talk. You really shouldn't spin in that chair Lexie... LOL
