In the next 1001 days, I'm going to accomplish 101 things. I've seen blogs by others who are doing this, so I thought I'd try it myself.
I have until July 2, 2012, to complete my goals.
I'm aiming for a not-too-lofty list, with a mix of long- and short-term goals. I'll work to finish things I've already started, to have some fun, to fulfill responsibilities, and to continue to shape my life.
Ground rules:
This is not a to-do list like oil changes and haircuts.
I can review and revise the list every six months. Next review, April 4, 2010.
The list does not have to be completed in order.
