101 Things in 1001 Days

My awesome friend Tammy is a fantastic blogger. She's the opposite of me in that way. :D
Recently she posted about a new project she is starting, "101 Things in 1001 Days." She had told me the concept before, but then she made her list and started (whaaa? carrying out ideas with goals and responsibility for finishing?!)! Crazy, I know. And being the crazy I am, I thought I might like to try as well. It also might've been influenced by the fact that The Bucket List was on TV recently.

You can get a good feel for the project here at Day Zero Project.



Pretty much it is a short term bucket list. So instead of saying borderline annoying things like "Marry the man of my dreams and have the perfect wedding and have 3 kids and live happily ever after," or "Visit all 7 wonders of the world 7 times." You instead write ones that are 1) possible and 2) attainable in the next 1001 Days.

Goals and deadlines, bring it on!

Lately I feel like I am wasting away in the "island paradise" and it's killing me, so I am excited to start this now. I spent a good two-ish weeks thinking and pondering the list. I came up with good ones, some great ones, and some awesome ones that I forgot before I wrote them down. I included some I can do in Grenada some I HAVE to do in the U.S. and some I can do anywhere. I included ones I can do on my own and I have to do with others.

Also, I don't know but I think this song is my theme for the next year.
