The idea of starting this list sounded good. But putting it out there for everyone to see? Hmm. What if I didn’t do it all? Didn’t get everything ticked off my list?What if they sounded daft? But, I decided that by not putting it out there, I wasn’t challenging myself. So im going with it ,and completing them will just makes things a little bit sweeter.
So my 101 in 10o1 days. With the new year here there’s no better way to start than with a plan. These 101 are a little bit of business mixed with a little bit of fun. Each time I complete a task I’m going to come back and update. I’m looking forward to it! This is such a great way of getting things done. I got the idea from the Day Zero Project (and i stole a few ideas from their too).
Start date: 09th January 2012
Completion Date: 06th October 2014
