719 days left, and counting

I'm up to 17% done on my 101 list.
I'm feeling pretty good about it this time around. I mean, last time I tried this I think I got 23 things done before I stopped, mostly because I lost the drive. This time I really want to finish this. I have the feeling that I never finish anything I start. Which isn't completely true because I've already finished 17 things on the list. So I can finish some things. But the big things? I feel like I never finish those. So doing all 101 things on time is important to me. It means I can finish things I start, not once, not twice, but 101 times. It means I can do small steps to finish the big ones. It means I can do what I set out to get done. It means I won't always fail, so there is a reason to try.

As I said before, some things are specific to times of the year, so I have to wait to do them. It gives me something to look forward to. I'm halfway afraid I'm going to push things off and run out of time. I keep thinking, there's time. But eventually that won't be the case. So I am trying to keep ahead of the game. To make sure I get things done while I can, and not wait until later. So I guess I'm trying to work on my tendency to procrastinate as well.

Wish me luck. I'm really pushing through this. I know 719 days seems like a lot, but it isn't when you have 83 items left to do, and some of them are 3-5 months in length.
