101 in 1001 days

Well with the start of a new year I feel like I have a million things that I want to achieve in the next few years so I found this online and thought this is a good way to order my thoughts and make me accountable to meet those goals that I have. Hopefully by achieving these it will help me to become a better wife and mother.

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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

So this is the start of my list - I still have a few to make up.
