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).
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.
My 1001 days started on 11th January 2009 and will finish on 9th October 2011
6. Knit something beautiful for a friend’s baby
When my lovely friend Emma announced she was having a baby, I had to make her the friend for #6. I asked what she would prefer and she asked for a cardigan. I went for green as she didn’t know what she was having and it was finished on 5th March 2010.
I’m really proud of my achievement and Emma is really pleased with it. I’m looking forward to seeing gorgeous Constance, who was born on 16th March, wearing it.
6. Knit something beautiful for a friend’s baby
A very lovely friend (who shall remain nameless!) is pregnant, hooray! I’m so happy for my friend and her husband.
The quest for something beautiful begins here!

PS, if the other friend who I promised something beautiful becomes pregnant is reading this, we’ll count this the practice run. ;-)
