the background story

What is it I am doing, you ask? Well, let me enlighten you.

It all started a few weeks ago, as I planned not to make one silly new year resolutions. But after reading an article (which, I might add, I didn't think had any effect on  me) from BlogHer's Lisa Morrow, I found myself reaching for the ol' journal instead the light switch that night. So, there I was...journaling at the beginning of the new year. How fitting.

Well, a few resolutions turned into the first entry of my gratitude journal, which turned into the beginning of 101 goals to achieve in 1001 days. The gratitude journal idea first came from an IgniteSD event last August from a local who had created a rockin' iPhone app.

The 101 idea originally came from the blogs of two friends, Jen and Lauren. The concept involves making a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. It can be anything and there are plenty of websites to help you make that list (and believe me, it's harder than you think!)

My first blog post about the topic included a taste of resolutions, gratitude journal and 101 in 1001. Not too long after, there was a second and third post as I finished up the list. Don't read them, though, because I have decided to refine my list since then.

It wasn't until Tuesday evening, that I found a website offering suggestions for the popular project, called 101 Goals in 1,0001 Days: Advice and Action Plans for Every Goal Under The Sun. It was then that I began reviewing my own list and deciding that it must be refined. I found Step 3 especially helpful.

Now that my list is refined and I am organized, I am ready to begin the next 1001 days.
