Slight revision/refining!
Ok, Having done a bit research I am refining two of my tasks, these being:
61.To read everything by Mercedes Lackey I can find & 62.To read everything I can find by Neil Gaiman.
Which is the following books:
Fragile Things
Good Omens
Anansi Boys
American Gods
Neverwhere
Smoke and Mirrors
Stardust
I've done this because otherwise I will never get anything else done!I'm going to have to save up lots to afford these anyway!
61.To read everything by Mercedes Lackey I can find & 62.To read everything I can find by Neil Gaiman.
Having looked it up and found out exactly how prolific these two writers have been I'm triming it down slightly...(unless Neil Gaiman happens to read this and feels like sending me a copy of all his books and comics, which i severly doubt!) So these will now read as follows:
61. To read the main parts of the Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey.
Heralds of Valdemar
Take a Thief
Exile's Honor
Exile's Valor
Arrow of the Queen
Arrow's Flight
Arrow's Fall

Magic's Pawn

Which is the following books:
Fragile Things
Good Omens
Anansi Boys

A Beginning.
This is the website where I found this and I think its a great idea.
The Mission:
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 goals such as new year's resolutions. 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 organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
Some 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 Focussed. 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.
My tasks are:
