101 in 1001

I have been a mental list keeper most of my life and as more and more things are entered into that list because of all the things I have going on it naturally becomes harder to remember everything. So I am going to start keeping a daily list of things to do to keep focused and have a sense of achievement.

But to add to that I wanted to create a list of 101 goals I plan to complete in 1001 days. I thought it would be great to post it here so I can keep you all up to date on my progress and you can help keep me accountable. :]

So here it is…
