101 Things In 1001 Days…

Begin: June 5, 2008 (Thu) ~ Goal Date: March 3, 2011 (Thu)

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on my part).

(This is in addition to my “Before I’m Gone” page that lists a few, key goals I want to reach before my time here comes to an end.)

When an item has been completed, I will mark it in bold, along with the date of completion, and a link if I blog about it.

  1. Carole Hicks on August 8 2006

    hi Carmen! This is totally scary. I just created a blog today with Word Press and I tried to grab the name “marketingchick” because, you see, my name is Carole Hicks…thus, chicks…get it? Anyhoo…it was taken and I didn’t give it a second thought — I simply created my site at midwestmarketingchick. When I logged on just now I forgot that I had put “midwest” in front and voila I land on YOUR site and the scary thing is that you and I have SO MUCH in common!!! Even down to tiny little things like one of my goals is to bake a pie from scratch. Girlfriend we gotta talk.
