I have been inspired by http://dayzeroproject.com/ . It is a unique challenge that inspires you to set and achieve your personal goals in life. I love the idea of setting a timeline to accomplish many things that I have always wanted to accomplish. The aim of the challenge is to complete 101 preset tasks in 1001 days. 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 your part).

I plan on updating my experience along the way for whoever out there in cyber world wants to read!
