For a while I've been hearing about 101 in 1001, but I never heard exactly what it is until today, when I was surfing around on ModernGypsy and followed some of her sidebar links. Basically, it's a list of 101 specific goals that you set down yourself, which are intended to be completed within 1001 days (about 2.75 years, according to the website). I think that this is a fantastic idea, seeing as I have a huge to-do list, so I thought I'd go ahead and set myself up a list--I already have a list of 100 things to do before I die, so why not make the time parameters a little more clear, hm?
