I have 1001 DAYS to complete 101 THINGS. Here's how it works: You list 101 things that you want to accomplish in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). The "things" can be major lifestyle changes or seemingly inconsequential items, like "try sushi." Either one could make you sick or kill you. Hopefully neither will happen and this blog will help keep me motivated!
