I was scrolling through the inter webs the other day and came upon the concept of 101 list to be accomplished in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). I think it originated from Day Zero Project as a community of challenge based goal setting. I'm not using that site to track my goals, I can't keep up with all of the passwords in my life.
