101
My deadline to complete all 110 (what can I say? I’m an overachiever) goals is:
June 29, 2011
46 down – 55 to go…
Here is the website to read more about it.
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).
Inspired to make your own list? Let me know because I want to inspire TEN people to follow suit. ![]()

awesome list! can’t wait to track your progress.
Awesome list! I’m truly impressed. If there is anything I can help you with don’t hesitate to ask.
I’d wish you luck but I know you don’t need it. You’ll knock this list over. Oh, yes.
so, I wandered over here and found your list. Yes, you have inspired me because I LOVE stuff like this! Thanks for the great list…I may steal some of them and add my own twist. good luck with yours!
I think i was composing my list as you left your comment…anywho, it’s up. Thanks again!
What are “hamburger cupcakes??”
Hamburger cupcakes are cupcakes that look like hamburgers.
my post “when I grow up” from a while ago shows a picture. Basically it’s just a vanilla cupcake cut like a hamburger bun, with a brownie “patty,” and frosting and candy as the lettuce and tomatoes.
It’s beautiful! (though we’ll see what MINE end up looking like …)
Saw the piccis.. they are adorable!
Good luck on your list!!!
I’m making a list – I’ll let you know when it’s up!
Honestly, this is kind of stupid. Why should a person put himself in this prison of tasks? Maybe we should just live and have fun. Who cares about tasks? I owe nothing to nobody.
Umm … yeah … so how about I ALREADY live and have fun
this is just extracurricular – I can’t satisfy my obsession to over-achieve unless I have goals
But you are right “somebody” we shouldn’t put ourselves in a prison of tasks. The only person I am accountable to is myself and even without the list I’d still be accountable to myself for living the life I want to lead. And if this is the case – why not spice things up a little with a list?
The point of the list is to HAVE FUN. And I plan on making sure it IS fun.
ok…motivated to make the 101 list…
wondering if i can squeeze into the top10
but i’ll let you know when it’s finished.
recommand a book~
The world of yesterday–Stefan Zweig
ok girl – you’ve inspired me to make a list – that makes 10! I’ve been thinking about doing one for a while and after reading yours it sounds like tons of fun!! I can’t promise that i will finish it in 1001 days – but I’ll do my best
I wish you were around cause that anne of green gables marathon would be so fun to watch with you – I get in the mood for one at least once each year! Plus I just joined a quilting club… imagine the domestic trouble we could conjure together haha
