The Pre-event To The Big Event

Hi. First off, my name is Leilanie. I'm 20 years old and I live in Washington state, in the United States. Some people know me by my middle name, which is Marie. That is the name I go by on my other blogs [Travelin' With Marie] (check em out when you get a chance). I first came across the 101 in 1001 challenge from one of my blogger friends. I was really curious so I decided to see what it was about. And anyone that knows me know's that I love to create lists. I love to create goals. I feel accomplished when I'm able to cross something off my list. Even if its something as simple as taking my vitamins or washing the laundry. I'm also a big fan of The Bucket List. I have many goals and tasks I want to accomplish before I, well, kick the bucket. So, I figured this would be a great challenge for me. I'm sure I will have fun and meet a lot of people along the way.

Since it is already past September 1st, I'm deciding the wait until October 1st to officially start my list. I know a few other people that are also starting on this day so I know I will have supporters alongside me. I'm a BIG procrastinator, but I'm GREAT at organizing. Kinda weird, huh? To work against my procrastination, I will create checklists, and weekly goals, and many things to keep me motivated. This is a big project and I plan on completing all of my goals.

Stay tuned for more information and I can't wait to see you on October 1st!

**Edit: I can't wait for October 1st... it's too far from now and I have nothing to do at the moment anyway. So I moved up my start date to September 15th. Still a few days away, but not that far away. Hope y'all don't mind :]

About 101 in 1001

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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
