101 in 1001

A few months ago I came across a blog post titled “101 in 1001” on the blog, Design Darling.  I did some googling and found out that thousands of other bloggers have also put together their own 101 in 1001 list. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s a list of 101 things you want to accomplish in the next 1001 days. Since I love setting goals and making lists, I figured that this was right up my alley. I’ll be adding this post to my sidebar or top menu soon, so I can continually check the list and mark things off as they are completed.

I hope this inspires you to create your own 101 in 1001 list. If you do, please comment below and leave the link to your list. I love reading them!
