There’s nothing I like more than making a to-do list and crossing off completed items. I’ve been exploring other blogs recently and I came across this fantastic idea. Create a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. It’s like a quasi-bucket list with a three year deadline. Well, 2.75 years to be more precise.
The idea originated from the Day Zero Project. Tasks should be specific, realistic (ie. “go on a space mission” would not work for me), and measurable or clearly defined. While I may not complete every task on this list I am excited to see where these new goals will take me. Check back for progress! ((Links to other 101 in 1001 lists at the bottom!))
