Today is the first Monday of the new year. It's a fresh start and the first day of many people's journey to conquer their New Year's Resolutions. On Friday I shared how I prefer setting monthly goals rather than annual unattainable resolutions. Today I'm sharing my 101 things to do in 1001 days list with you. This is my second list. You can checkout my first list here. I ended up completing about half of the items on the list. With my new list, I'm hoping to get closer to completing 100% of it. This time around I split my list into categories, which made it easier to create and hopefully complete.
What is a 101 in 1001 list?
So if you have no idea what a 101 things in 1001 days list is, then I'm sure you're a little confused and curious. The idea is to make goal setting more realistic, but to also add some dreams to your list. You create a list of 101 things you want to accomplish over the course of the next 1001 days. it is pretty self explanatory, but I think the concept it pretty fun. It's more challenging than you would think to come up with the complete list. If you need help counting 1001 days from when you start, then feel free to use this calculator to help you out.
If you end up creating a list, please tweet me your link. I'll add your name to the list on my 101 in 1001 tab. The whole point of this is to be inspired and inspire others, so I would love to hear from you!

XOXO
I love that you've split this up into categories and are making it manageable over the 1001 days. I really want to make a list of my own. I can't wait to see you achieve your goals!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! It is so much easier to achieve goals when you are specific and have a concrete timeline, and you've done that. I'm writing down some ideas for my own list right now! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGirl this is a great list! I may just need to copy some of it down for my own goals! Good luck with everything and I can't wait to read your progress updates!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a list like this, I'm just not sure I could ever finish it-big lists sometimes overwhelm me!

Hopefully you complete a lot of these!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my own 101 in 1001! Good luck with all of these!

That is a cool list! I can't wait to keep up with how you do it all!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Did it take a long time to come up with your list? I saw something like this on Design Darling years ago and I've been meaning to make my own.
ReplyDeleteIt took about a week or so!
DeleteI love that 100 Happy Days is on your list! It will seriously change your life :) Excited to follow along with your progress!

Awesome list-- I've seen these types of lists over the years and always wanted to create one. Maybe this will be the year? Wishing you much success on hitting these goals!
ReplyDeleteOh my this is SO COOL!!! I am going to make one for myself, I love the idea and you have time to do it!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cool! I like that it helps you look long term, rather than short term. I might do something similar!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing idea! Run a 5k is on my to do list for this year too!
