Laura's 100 Goals in 1001 Days Challenge: 55/101 -- Get hubs a tie rack for the closet

The Challenge:

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined.

Why 1001 Days?
The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is enough time to allow you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks.

Start Date: September 8, 2010
End Date: June 5, 2013

(using this calculator)

This wording was taken almost verbatim from Becky's 101 Goals in 1001 Days and Domestic Dabblings blog. I think it's great and thought it was a perfect way to break things out! Thanks ladies!

Exciting post right? Well, check that one off. I actually got him one for Christmas and the closet has never looked better. But is it truly picture worthy? I think not. But it's off the list. :)
