101 Things to do in 1001 Days Project
The Mission:
Complete 101 things in 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (represent some amount of effort on your part).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following list was written off the top of my head, in no particular order, over the course of a couple of days. I might try to categorize them at some point…or maybe not. If you are inspired to develop your own list, click on the link above for more info and then leave me a comment with a link to your list.

I did it! I read your blog quite often. Found it while browsing. 🙂
Wemmies…I just checked out your blog. Nice list. I especially liked the one about getting in the pictures with your family. I joke that someday people will look through our albums and wonder where the heck I was. I’m sure I’d be more inclined to have my picture taken if I’m successful in losing 40 pounds. 😉
Good job…I’m taking you to have that pedicure from my friend laurie soon! She is THE BEST!!!

I’m not sure I could come up with that many things to do in a little less than 3 years. My goals are longer term than that. Maybe when my girls get a little older it will be easier for me to see my own future : )
Hi, found you on day of zero. My blog Positivenergy is where I am working on my list. Good luck with yours! I have watched NIN in concert and oyu will not be disappointed. It was a great show 🙂
And I am stealing your idea to make a breakfast nook in your bedroom. I love that idea 🙂
What a great range of goals on your list. Learning to make soap and candles sounds incredibly creative. All the best for achieving your goals … and for the next 101!
MLA’s 30 books???
I added a link to the MLA book list, as well as a link to “Wishcraft”.
