I have seen this done a few times before and thought the concept was wonderful. It makes you set goals and helps you achieve them on your own term. And since you have over 2 years to do so, the end is not so intimidating.
I for one do not partake in New Years resolutions. I think they are pointless - people only do the, for a few weeks and they go back to their old ways. I am firm believer that you can change anytime you want and accomplish your goals any day of the week. This is my journey.
I will be blogging about each item I accomplish. This should be a fun adventure! I started on September 17th 2009 and my end date is June 14th 2012. But I must admit I did put a few things on my list that I have already done only because they have been on my list my entire life! Please leave comments if you wish and if I have helped you start your own blog please leave me your website. I love to support others on their quest! Thanks for stopping by!

I also stumbled upon your blog through Angela's (OSG) and this 101 things in 1001 days is a wonderful idea- I LOVE it!
I'm prepping my list mentally as I'm finishing off my work day! When I get home I'm going to start my list!
#11...absolutely DO IT! Scubadiving is so peaceful! Best place (that I've personally been): Cayman Islands!
I just started my 101 list, and like to add you to my blogroll. I see we have quite a few goals in common. Good luck and perserverance, I agree we can reach our goals any day.
