Here's how it works: You come up with 101 goals. They can be anything: things you've been putting off, things you've always wanted to do, things to make yourself better. You set a start date, and you have 1,001 days to complete all 101 tasks.
It sounds simple, but more than likely I won't finish every single thing. However, it seems like fun to try. I love to feel like I've accomplished something and I love lists, so this seems like a good fit for me. So, without further ado, here is my list of 101 goals.
