ETA: Ok, it took me all day to re-organize the list. I decided to organize into how frequently I wanted to do each thing with one section for one time items. Each section I tried to keep all food related things together, all photography things together, ect.
Ok, here’s my list! I just added as I went so its a big mish mash…I’m going to try to rearrange the list so its in catagories that make each thing easier to find so stay tuned. Numbers that are bold are in progress and the one’s that are struck through like this are finished.
So, here are my start and end dates…

Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

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.
