101 Things in 1001 Days

The problem with New Year's Resolutions is that I usually forget about them a month later while Bucket Lists don't provide a realistic time frame for me to complete my goals. There is too much room for procrastination when tasks are not clearly defined.  The solution?  I've decided to give 101 Things in 100 Days a try - Inspired by other bloggers' lists, I've created my own - let's see how many of these I accomplish in 2.75 years!
