101 Tasks in 1001 Days…a super simple but thought provoking concept.
I like most, suck at keeping New Year’s resolutions and the idea of a life bucket list seems a tad too open-ended for me. This list is a perfect combination of the two. I can procrastinate until my little heart is content but there is a deadline to keep me focused. The goal is to come up with 101 tasks that are a stretch for you…that require a little extra effort…are not too vague… and upon completion of each task/list, you should feel proud.
My start date is July 1, 2012 and I hope to have the whole list completed by March 29, 2015…I’m crossing my fingers!
