101 in 1001
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).

This is a duplicate list of the sidebar which I intend to update rather than this post (though knowing me a flight of whimsy at a later date will have this list being updated in synch with the sidebar. This post was really just created for the official website where I’ve submitted the website for a bit of community feel :).
There are a few on there that I had difficulty succinctly quantifying and have left them ambiguous for now with the intent of working out the details later.
