101 Things in 1001 Days List

101 in 1001 days

I started my first 101 things in 1001 days list back in 2011 and loved it. I didn’t accomplish everything on that list, but I really did enjoy the process. The list kept me accountable. When I started blogging a few months back, I told my husband, a few times about the 101 in 1001 list and how much I liked the challenge. We even read through my old list. I started questioning why I hadn’t done one in over five years and decided to remedy that right away.

How does it work, you ask? It’s basically like a to-do list mixed with a bucket list. 1001 days is roughly 2.75 years and a much easier timeline to accomplish such a big list. It offers you multiple seasons to tackle your goals. I actually find it less daunting to have this giant list than eight new year’s resolutions. You can read about my 2019 resolutions and my word of the year here, if you’d like. I’m excited to get started on this and share my accomplishments with you guys.
