50 x 50 Challenge

You may have seen my 101 in 1001. Well...the 50 x 50 is really kind of an extension of that. It's another bucket list challenge. I found it via Debi over at Talking to Myself during Bout of Books 10 (and yes, I did use her ideas to help me formulate my list).

Instead of 101 items, you'll have 50. But here's the trick...each of those 50 items is a goal to do 50 things (i.e. read 50 books). I love it! Oh...and the rule is that an item can only be used for one item in the list. In other words: I have a goal to read 50 books, but I also have a goal to read 50 classics. None of the books used for my classics goal can be used on my regular books goal. That's just cheating. But...goals can cross challenges. So the 50 books I read from 50 states can definitely be used for my State-by-State Challenge.

Since it's such a big list with so much to do, I'm giving myself a full decade on this challenge. I may not need that much time, but it'll be nice to know I have it. I'll be starting the task on June 1st, 2014 and my deadline is May 31st, 2024. If it's looking ugly at that ten year mark, I'm giving myself a 5-year (and some slight change) extension - until my 50th birthday. Fitting, right?

You ready for this monster?

I'll be updating my "50" lists as I go, adding the numbers until I reach my 50 on each task. Some tasks won't have each of the fifty listed individually. Those items will be in green when in progress and will be turned red when completed. Some tasks are actually separate reading challenges, they'll be hyperlinked to their appropriate pages. I'll also be indicating the dates finished (month/year) next to each item.

** Update Edit... Some major life changes took place in the midst of this challenge. But...rather than start completely over, I have elected to change some items and reset some of the goals to January 1, 2018. The deadline will remain the same. **
