The Rules

Obviously it would be foolish of me to head out in these endeavours without particular rules, but I quite like the idea of the Fight Club way, ‘If you know the rules, you don’t know the rules’.

Basically these rules are not hard and fast, they are a mere guide to what I should be doing:

1. The period of the challenge runs from 00.00am on the 23^rd April 2011 to 23.59 on 23^rd April 2021.
2. The numbering of the ‘Things to do’ is random and does not need to be completed in order.
3. Items can be added to the list at any time up to midnight 23/04/2019 (see 4. below), provided they are reasonable.
4. Items on the list do not have to be done, it is a guide of things I should try & do (e.g. Living abroad is not a standalone item, it impacts a lot of life!) – a 75% pass rate is what the final aim is, hence the closure of new items in the final two years to discourage altering the statistics.
5. The aim is to find 40 things to do.
6. Items will be numbered and this number cannot be changed.
7. Evidence (preferably Photographic) needs to be retained to confirm completion of the ‘Thing to do’. Independent Recorded (preferably Video) Testimony needs to be obtained where no other evidence can be obtained!
