Iist update.

Nothing to update as far as being done. Just updated the list with in progress items. Looked at the imdb top 250 list and saw I've already seen 50. I now own 17 nes games so that takes care if 1/3 of the retro game list item. Also added a link to the pic for the 8 bit emergency.

There is one item I plan to take care if this weekend so another update should follow soon.

So here’s the gist of this...

The Challenge: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 your part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple challenges such as New Year’s resolutions or a ‘Bucket List’. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years, 1 task per 9-10 days) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
