Erich's 102 in 1002

Erich's had a list of items to do that he's carried around on the weekends. It was typed in excel, and he has crossed off a few things from the list over the last couple weeks. After seeing my list that I posted last night, he revised his and sent me an email today titled "102 in 1002." Being a Leo, he does, of course, try to outshine. :) #1 is, however, a symbolic reminder that was on his original list.

With his permission, here is his 102 in 1002...

The Mission: Complete 102(!) preset tasks in a period of 1002 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).

Start Date: Sept. 12, 2006
End Date: June 10, 2009
Last Status Update: N/A
Days Remaining: 1001
As of Summer 2009 we will probably need to replace our roof
