101 things
Like many people, I am a procrastinator. I put things off and tend to forget about my goals rather easily. That is why I’ve decided to join the 1001 Day Project bandwagon and write up a list of 101 things I want to get done in 1001 days. As I cross items off the list I’ll write up a blog post and include pictures whenever possible (see #100). This is my attempt at bettering myself by setting short term and long term goals. I doubt this will put an end to my procrastination but I can only hope that it helps.
The start date is March 6th, 2008. The deadline? December 2nd, 2010.
