101 tasks in 1001 days


This list took about 17 days for me to come up with, so I'm psyched. Some might sound small, others unattainable, and I'm sure some of them may even be strange, but what you see is what you get. I'll be updating this post on the regular, so check back from time to time. (Blogliners will be automatically notified).

As seen on triplux.com, and Jason, via Gwen, and also done by:
