101 in 1001 - Take 3

I don't do resolutions at the start of each year. I feel like they set you up for failure and let's face it...by mid to end of January you have given up anyways.  This is my 3rd time doing 101 things in 1001 days. No, I don't get all 101 things done in that time frame....for a variety of reasons. Sometimes I forget about it before it is too late, sometimes our projects around the house change and we no longer need something. The point of the 101 in 1001 is to develop a list of attainable goals and spread them out over a manageable amount of time. After my last round of 101 in 1001 I decided to refocus and have items that target a better me, a better life. Less stuff, more meaning. I have created 10 goals and have tasks I want to complete to achieve that goal. The next 1001 days are about discovering a new me and accomplishing things I want for myself.
