I guess a challenge like this is what I need to be able to accomplish a lot of things that I am interested in. Maybe I better start listing those things.

This is really nice. I want to try it. Kaya lang I don’t think I can. I’m an unintentional crammer. I tend to procrastinate until the need to cram. 1001 days is too long for me. I’m afraid I wont be able to accomplish it. Haha. But I might try this, and I could set more difficult tasks, something I just couldn’t do everyday.

Wow, a long list, and it’s not even finished! Your list is inspiring! I made a similar list earlier this year (I didn’t post it though) and I’m glad I’m accomplishing little by little. Lists like this make you aware of where you want your feet to bring you. Good luck!
