Operation Motivation

Okay, so I'm ashamed to say that this past week of my life has probably been the most unproductive week of the year so far for me, and today I'm feeling so totally behind and defeated.

It's just one of those weeks where my mind has been a million different places, and because of that my productivity level is non-existent.

Maybe it's the heat~ 111 degrees does tend to kill the motivation factor, or maybe it's because I feel like the entire first half of the year I was climbing up a mountain now I've reached the top....and it's time to start climbing the next one, the bigger, rockier, most strenuous one.

So in an effort to get my wheels turning again, I thought it might be a good idea to take a look at my 101 in 1001 list. I've completed a good handful of goals but haven't crossed them off yet ~ I created this weird rule in my head that I couldn't cross them off until I was able to blog about them ~ well today, I'm breaking my rule ~whatever will help me get out of this funk.
