101 in 1001

Why 1001?

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. 101 in 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. This is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. To start your own, calculate the finish date here!
