The reason this is a neat thing to do is because it's such a long list, and almost three years is quite some time, so you don't hesitate to put anything and everything on there. You don't have to be careful about your decision you just write it all down, including short, intermediate and long term goals.
Here is an example of one of them. Here is another. etc. They even give you a calculator to figure out when the 1001 days is up, and code (for a blog for example) that lets you put the count down. Just my style. Now I happen to turn 30 a few months short of said 1001 days, so I modified my day count, to end on my thirtieth birthday. Bombs away!

this is great!
It make me want to do this. Maybe I'll post it on my site too. I'll sky dive with you :)
Africa before Seattle, eh? I see how it is. :). But that IS an awesome idea! I'm making a list now, too. (Not appearing on mine: drink only water as a beverage for one month. That's got to be harder than starting a company.)
It's not possible that you will be 30 in 882 days!!! What happened to my baby? I made a much shorter list like this the first time I retired and I have it somewhere. Still have to go fishing.
I altered my list to end on my 30th birthday also! I just need to start editing the list. :)
