In Fall of 2011, I decided to come up with 101 Things to do in 1001 days. Which is a whack of days. My life is different from that point and my 1,001 days expired. I’ve created a new list of things with some from the past list. The date I started this list was August 8th, 2016. I really have done nothing to my list and this has to change… so might as well post it here. I created some reminders to pop up in my phone to remind me to get my ass in gear.
I will update some blog posts that were already created for the tasks that are in progress and I’ll update them with current updates.
101 things can be really small things and some of them could be some larger things. Not 100% sure if I can get all of them done. But I promised myself I will try. Some things are for me and some are for my kids.
I will try and blog them all in progress and once they are completed.
