0 101 in 1001

I saw this on someone else's blog and it caught my attention. I make lists all the time and for some reason I just never feel like I am getting anything done. Maybe I don't give myself enough time or maybe I am trying to do too much. *shrugs*

So I am doing the 101 in 1001. Basically the point of it is to list 101 things you want to accomplish in 1001 days. They have to be attainable, simple and easy to track.
