101 things in 1001 days.



I first heard of the 101 things in 1001 days through my best friend, Rebecca. Not sure if she fell through with most of it, but I remember her talking about at the start of 2010. It's something I always wanted to do to as a way to figure out how to reach my goals and also do the things I enjoyed. I thought about listing it again, but why should I wait till January 1, 2016 to do it? I want to do it NOW.

Now this won't be my only method of reaching goals. For the main goals I want to achieve, there has to be more specific lists of doing them.

So if today is October 1, 2015, I would want to be able to reach these goals by June 28, 2018. Its scary to think that I will be 29 that year. You can find out the date 1001 days will be using the Days from Now Calculator, whenever you want to accomplish it.

I challenge you guys to this list and have fun with it, list down what you want to do for the next 2.75 years! Here's some of what I would like to accomplish.
