The Updated List!



Hi everyone!! Me again, I've updated my list and started crossing things off! Yeah me! I am 6.9% done after only 1 month and crossing another (hopefully) 2 off the list! I have inspired my sister to start her own list and she's pretty excited about it. That is awesome for me because we don't really share any hobbies so this is something we can work through together. It's a lot harder for her, she has only come up with 49 things so far but she's working at a pace that works for her! And it's still exciting for her. Hopefully I can figure out how to upload pictures again (all kinds of technical issues going on here) and I'll share some of my accomplishments with you!

101 Goals in 1001 Days

Hello, friends! I’ve recently been inspired to create my very own list of 101 things I hope to accomplish in 1001 days after seeing so many great ideas on pinterest! Some of these things will be easy to accomplish while others might take some time/not happen within the 2.75 years but I’m up for the challenge! It should be fun just to see how many of these things I’ll be able to check off! I’ll be updating it as I complete them so be sure to check back! Have you made a 101 in 1001 list?

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

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple challenges such as New Year’s resolutions or a ‘Bucket List’. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
