Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).<br /><br /><strong>Why 1001 Days? </strong><br />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.<br /><br /><strong>Some common goal setting tips:</strong><br />1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.<br /><br />2. Stay Focussed. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.<br /><br />3. Welcome Failure. Frequently, very little is learned from a venture that did not experience failure in some form. Failure presents the opportunity to learn and makes the success more worthy.<br /><br />4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.<br /><br />5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.<br /><br /><br />Once you have created your site, you can add it to the <a href="http://www.triplux.com/dayzero/default.asp?view=masterlist">master list</a> here at Day Zero.Daynahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05639189572309113760noreply@blogger.com0
