101 in 1001 Days

In honor of my 26th year I decided to start a fun project. Make a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days (2.75) years. The cross between a bucket list and goal list was the appeal. I usually find bucket lists too overwhelming, I don't know how to think about All The Things I want to do before I die. This seemed so much more manageable. And practical. And fun.

Set my dreams to paper but with a scope. That's my style.

To give credit where credit is due: I found out about the idea on Pinterest which was started by Mackenzie of Design Darling in this post.
