We all know I love lists, so it just makes sense that I would have a 101 things list. There aren’t nearly 101 things here yet, but I’ll keep adding. Though a lot of these could be in several categories, I’ve organized it as best I can on - based on some concepts in The Joy Equation.
If you haven’t gone to Day Zero Project – go check it out, it’s pretty neat. If you haven’t heard about the Joy Equation go check it out too – Molly is amazing and the program is awesome.
