Astronomical Clock

How long is 1001 days, anyway?

About two years and two thirds.

About thirty-three months.

Exactly one hundred and forty-three weeks.

One hundred sets of ten days - and an extra day.

Ten sets of one hundred days - and an extra day.

On the whole, I'm steering clear of goals that have to be done regularly every month, or week, or whatever, because I know all too well that there will come a month, or a week, when I forget, or when I have no internet connection, or when a crisis comes up. Far better to say 'I will do this one hundred and forty-three times', and then it won't matter if I do it three times in one week and not at all the next. There's no sense in shooting myself in the foot before I even start.
