Mission Mondays

Before I had Baby A, I started a list of 101 in 1001. The premise behind it, is to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days. Many people have created lists in the past, frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. I have started lists such as this one in the past, but because of unrealistic goals, and changing lifestyles, the list never got completed. Here is my list. Hopefully, each Monday I will have something either started or completed. With new mommyhood though, anything can happen.
