Hi everyone!
 
 
So I stumbled across a site where the principal idea was to create a list of 101 things you wanted to achieve in 1001 days (= 2.75 years). It's mid-way between a bucket list and a new years' resolutions list except that each goal has to be quantifiable in order to tick it off. A great way to be held accountable is to publish it online somewhere and since I don't have a blog (yet?) I thought I'd publish mine here :) I would love love love to read yours so please share! If you're getting stuck making the list, feel free to use mine or go ahead and use google for inspiration !! You don't have to use categories but errmmaaagerd it's so much easier to check off!
