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 #5 Unhappy ending

Goal #5 Rehome our troublesome dog

He's rehomed - after a stint in the neighbor's chicken house - that was the last time he got off his tie-out. He is currently "rehomed" out in the orchard under a tree. Sorry puppy, that wasn't quite what I had in mind.

The good news? It's quieter, less stressful and no more guilt or dead chickens. Ok, still some guilt... but it's for the better.
