101 things in 1001 days ~ THE LIST

[lumy12]

ETA: As of March 2010 this is on hold as I've completely lost my drive this year, and even with taking breaks, it's just not working for me anymore. :(




~ 101 things in 1001 days - THE LIST ~
For: mission101_2009

(Like the idea? Join mission101 if you need a start date later than 1/1/09.)

Thursday, January 1, 2009 – Thursday, September 29, 2011
1001 days is…
-143 weeks
-33 months (rounded)
-3 years (rounded)

My list will not be so rigid that I don’t allow some leeway on these time frames, so there will be variances.

I don’t get sick very often but when I do, getting healthy takes priority over completing items on the list, and those days will be adjusted off the totals as necessary. (For example, if I don’t exercise twice during a week in which I was sick, it won’t count against me even as a “leeway” week.) (ETA: Adjusted some totals for 6-7 weeks due to hand surgery, 5/14/09-6/25/09)

Italicized items indicate completed tasks.

I got to number 4 and just started laughing. I'll read the rest of the list after I calm down!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ahaha you're so mean to me!

I actually had that as "healthy meal" at first but took out the healthy part, because that's subjective, really... and this is do-able even for me, because I will count Fresh & Easy meals.

K gave me a cookbook for Christmas that actually has interested me in cooking a bit, I just hope it lasts!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Do I want to ask about the 101st item on your list? Do I need to be all "nee-chan, did you do *said item* yet?"?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh, glad you asked! (yes you asked) At the end I'm going to add up all my "points" and all the possible points and figure out my grade. Only at the end because I don't have the patience to do all the pro-rating type stuff to figure it out as I go along!

I should give extra weight to some of them but... yeah, that requires extra math skillz.

And yes you need to nag me about doing everything! lol

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

Joy... so that means I might have to nag you every other day?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Only as often as your Nammy-Nam heart desires!

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

>.> Actually, I need to nag you daily to use your skincare products....

I might need to make another chart for this....

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Not just that, Nam, but every other day for nearly 3 YEARS!!!

You might as well marry each other with that type of commitment!!! LOL

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

HA! Would I marry your darling and take him away from you? What kind of friend do you think I am??? (errr don't answer that)

[darkp-hawk.livejournal.com]

... well, that might as least give me something constant to do for the next 3 years.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

What points? I didn't see anything on that site about assigning points. Did I miss something?

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

You don't have to. A lot of people list 101 things and that's that. But I don't want to mess up once on say, a weekly item, and then figure "oh well, I blew that one" and give up on it entirely! That's why I have the little progress thingies next to each item to track.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

OH. Well, given that explanation I do think you should marry Nam. You're both far more anal than I could ever be about a to do list!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You should do a new one so we can pester each other!

[designmusic.livejournal.com]

Definitely read more than one non-fandom book a year. Reading is SO great, seriously. <3

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I like to think I will but I have a lot of fandomy stuff to catch up on too <3

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha! Or maybe I'm boring but you don't wanna tell me! :P

Thanks for the luck, I'll need some... though I must say, you underestimate yourself. I bet you could come up with 101 things just for your school stuff alone!

[queen-meep.livejournal.com]

What are the rules to this?

You KNOW the meme-dork and list-dork that I am, I want in on this! ;)

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ohhh you should check it out! mission101 is the original comm (at least on LJ... I guess the concept is from somewhere else?) but I saw in the spotlight mission101_2009 for people starting on 1/1/09 so I joined that one. You can start it at any time, the mission101 comm has a link to a thingie that will calculate your end date. Take a peek at other people's lists and you'll get an idea of how to do it (most people aren't so anal as I've been with mine, it seems!)

P.S. Join mission101_2009 but I highly recommend not adding it to your f-list, it's crazy-busy right now thanks to the LJ spotlight. It gobbled up my f-list like whoa so it had to go! Things should calm down in a couple weeks.

[azur-dreams.livejournal.com]

lol your list is way easier than mine! i could come over do all those things in an afternoon. heh. except the flossing. i liked the cat brushing. will's all bathed up and fuzzy bearsy today!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah, YOUR lists are darn near impossible! I wanted mine to be do-able. So far I haven't messed up on the daily & weekly things!
