Well, here we go! Yesterday I started the 101 things in 1001 days. What is that you ask? Well, let me explain with a nifty little copy paste from my bestie Rickki Wallace and her Blog "The Wallace Homestead!" Which by the way is an awesome blog! You should give it a peek!

So, here is the explanation!
FIRST!!
You make a list of 101 things you would like to do.
You aim to get everything ticked off in 1001 days.
It’s that simple.
The rules? Each task must be specific, with clearly defined or measurable results. Tasks must also be realistic — something I believe I can accomplish within 1001 days — and stretching; I can’t add things I already do or which don’t require any effort.
Why 1001 days? “The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time…because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks.”
1001 Days =
143 Weeks =
33 Months =
2 3/4 Years
It seems like a reasonable amount of time to get a lot of stuff done! I will ready to start on Thursday January 1, 2015 and hopefully everything will be ticked of by September 28, 2017.
Sounds awesome right?
Here is my list, and it will be posted on the 101 things tab here on the blog so that you can keep up with my progress if you like!
So here we go! I am SO ready for 2015 and to get started on my 101 things!!
