round two

DateWednesday, September 14, 2011 at 3:28PM

I am a list lover, so of course I'd start again. Some of the items here were uncompleted on the previous list, although not every item made the cut.  Some things I'm glad to lose, (like all the sewing items), because really, those line items felt like chores, to do items, and I think they have no business on a list that I like to think of as my inspiration and a way to push myself out of my comfort zone. 

My Mission:

 To complete 101 tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Rules:

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).

Bold text means a completed entry, followed by the date and any relevant comments and/or links

Stricken text means a failed entry

Italic text means the entry is in progress

Start date: 11.11.11

End date:   08.08.14
