New Mission 101
I've done several Mission 101s since I first heard about it, including several personal lists and a farm-specific list. With the exception of maybe the first one, I've fallen off the wagon and failed pretty miserably. Not this time! I am motivated & dedicated this time. I'm spreading it out less and trying to focus on five specific areas for improvement that I feel I should dedicate some serious quality time to.
For those unfamiliar with Mission101, it is a list of 101 goals you plan to accomplish in 1001 days.
