101 in 1001

Thursday, February 05, 2015


The Challenge: 
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days. 

I was inspired to start my own 101 in 1001 list after stumbling upon Mackenzie's blog. She's already on her second set! I love making lists (although I rarely ever complete them) and 1001 days, roughly 2.75 years, feels like ample enough time to complete at least half my goals.
