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 effort on my part).</div><div align="center"><br /> 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.</div><div align="center"><br /> Official Start: March 4, 2010<br /> Finish: November 9, 2012</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Coding Key:<br /> To be done<br /> <span style="color: #cc66cc;"><span style="color: purple;">In progress</span></span><br /> <span style="color: black;"><strike>Completed</strike></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <strike>1.
