So, If you have read through the whole list, you may notice some strange things.  Yes, I put on the list to hang out with my friends.  I have to do such a thing.  Just like I need to put on the list just to chill.  Because other wise I forget or resit doing these things.

When I saw other lists like this I knew I had to do one like it.  And I learned some things.  1,001 days is not as many as you think.  It is not even three full years.  Writing this list stressed me out even though I wrote it to remember the relaxation and other things I forget.  I am sure I set the bar too high for myself and this list is even scaled way back.  It was, however, more fun and creative and inspirational to write then just a list of resolutions.

I’ll be updating this list every now and again.
