Stayed up until past 1AM again, because I was desperate to break the 20k-mark. Well, I managed that, but don't ask how. Note to self: must start writing before 10PM.

Quinn's 101 tasks to complete in 1001 days
About me
- Quinn
- I'm a 29-year-old girl from The Netherlands who tries to grow and get more out of life each day.
101 Things to Do in 1001 Days
The source of this project and of the explanation below is Day Zero.
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.
