101 in 1001

by bchacon

Inspired by Mackenzie Horan, I have compiled a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1,001 days to help me live a more fulfilled life.

I used to do my yearly birthday lists but I missed publishing my 28 to 28 list this year, but I like the idea of creating a longer list with a longer timeline so I’m jumping on this idea. Let’s do this thing!
