I have a 30 by 30 list, but I came across this goal setting list concept: 101 by 1001, that has been going around on the internet for a few years now. This is a more detailed, and at times, more ambitious list.

101 by 1001

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).
