New here!
Hi :D I just finished writing my 101 goals so I figured I should start knocking them out right away.
I have a habit of getting really pumped about things, and then completely losing interest in them in favor of the next whim. So, I hope this is not one of those things. That's kind of why I wanted to try this anyway, to make myself stick to something.
Some goals are kind of trivial and I might update them as time goes on (since a lot will be changing in my life in the next 1001 days). I left the last few blank for that purpose too.
One of my unspoken goals is to spend less time on the computer/internet, so I'm sorry that these are all totally out of order--I didn't bother to spend time sorting them because it took so long to write in the first place.
