This idea is an alternative for a “New Year’s Resolution”. Resolutions are lame. We all know it. How many years have you made a new year’s resolution, stuck to it for 3 weeks, then returned to your normal <whatever your resolved to change>? How many years have you made the SAME resolution that you did the previous year, then flake out? <\/font><\/p>\n

This idea, I think, is great. Instead of just one year, you get 1001 days which is (1001\/365 = ) 2.742468 years. In this time, you set 101 goals to accomplish. They can be major ones, but they don’t have to be. They can be something as simple as “hang a picture” or “take a class on <x>”. <\/font><\/p>\n

I have decided that I want to do this.<\/font><\/p>\n
