Objective:
To complete 101 different goals within 1001 days.

Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple goals such as new year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as trips or outdoor activities among other things.

As I complete tasks on my list I will be blogging about them here and crossing them off the list below.
