101 Things in 1001 Days Project

In these moments of my life, while I’m writing this, I’m in a constant up and down process. I’ve been thinking about the Project that I will discuss in a few moments – I’ve been feeling with a lack of motivation and, at times, frustrated.

A few days ago, while I was reading a blog on personal finances called getrichslowly.org, I think I’ve found a solution. During the months I’ve been reconstructing my productivity system it’s been on a constant evolution process but it hit a wall, which I find frustrating. This project is the best to-do list, task reminder, motivational exercise that I’ve seen. I think that it’ll function as motivation in the short and long term process.

Let’s call the project “101 Things in 1001 days”. The author of the post in which I’ve seen this got his idea from Triplux.com, but I continued investigating and found various pages in which its authors have established themselves the goal of fulfilling this project. One of them, dayzeroproject.com, a page dedicated to motivating people to propose themselves to this project, offers a easy and concrete guide of what it is and how to begin your own.

Guide from dayzeroproject.com that I used as reference to begin my project:

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) 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.

Common Goal setting tips:

1. Be decisive. Know exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to achieve it.

2. Stay Focused. Any goal requires sustained focus from beginning to end. Constantly evaluate your progress.

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.

4. Write down your goals. It clarifies your thinking and reinforces your commitment.

5. Keep your goals in sight. Review them frequently, and ensure that they are always at the forefront of your thinking.

The Ugly Truth

This morning I thought in make a small review about District 9 I saw this film yesterday with 2 of my best friends, but I’m now arriving from the theater and I think is best to write about the movie I saw today The Ugly Truth a romantic comedy film starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. When I began to watch the movie I saw that many points out in fact, are true for example, Mike (Gerard Butler) tells us that the man puts its attention first in the physique that in the emotional qualities, is actually true but I also I think that in women the same happens. I think this happens to the whole world in most cases is the physique what got your attention first that the emotional part. Somewhere in the film Mike said that he is like it is because he have allots of fail relationships, but I think you must see the fail relationships as something to learn from it, should not be a reason for be player. If I things like that and I count all my fail relationships I will be a super player, now I’m in a relationships that I’m in and out of it because of their parents we are unstable. This is not a reason for me to be a player at least I see that like I need to follow what I love. My advice you should pursue what you really wants and loves not matter what, until your last breath. As I said in one of my previous post “you can’t fail, if you don’t give up – The Last Kiss“. The Ugly truth is a good movie makes you laugh, presents issues that are real and among other thing. You can learn from it, one of the things that teaches you is that be your yourself not something that really you are not. I give the film a 10/10 and district 9 I give her a 10/10 is a good alien movie totally different from what you normally see. But I decided to write about The Ugly Truth because I feel more identified with the film at least in these difficult times of my life.

I know my English writing skills are not this good but that’s why I have this website in English, I want to perfect my skills. I hope you understand everything I say. Any suggestions or questions contact me or leave a comment.
