101 Tasks in 1001 Days

Have you ever made a years resolution and it lasted maybe two months? Lucky, if it lasted longer. I have. Each year I have said I am going to do something different. So now I am really going to do something different - 101 in 1001. I made a list of 101 things I would like to get done in the next 1001 days. As I accomplish things I will blog about them. I hope I can do it - wait, I know I can do it! You might be asking why 1001 days. Well 1001 days gives you a better time period to get a goal/task finished compared to just one year.
