Good morning, friends! We are getting close to the end of the year and so today I’d like to share my goals with you for the year – but in a different way. I have done this in the past – you can check it out here – but COVID definitely put a wrench in a lot of our plans. So I wanted to bring it back – a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days (which is about 2.75 years). It’s a happy a medium between the shorter-term to-do list and the longer-term bucket list. It is a very creative way to achieve your goals and resolutions that you set aside for yourself and encourages you to challenge and push yourself to live your best life.
101 Things to Do in 1001 Days is a really fun way to make and keep goals as an individual, couple, or family. I like to include a broad mix of things–big goals that are going to be difficult to accomplish, things I’ve been meaning to do and haven’t made time for, recipes we’ve been meaning to try, etc. The time frame is generous–you have over 2 1/2 years to get things done. My family and I especially love this sort of list because it gives us time to plan lots of fun adventures and ideas for things to do and memories to make.
Writing my goals down here and sharing updates along the way with you will help keep me accountable. I also wanted to start before the new year to get in the habit of keeping these goals in mind. If all goes well, I’ll have lots of updates at the beginning of each month. If you’d like to make your own list, feel free to borrow any ideas below that sound interesting or search the internet for more fun ideas. Let me know if you do decide to do it because we can be each other’s encouragement! To calculate 1001 days from any date, click here.
