101 Things in 1,001 Days

I first came across 101 Things in 1,001 Days while scrolling through Pinterest. I immediately loved the concept and decided I had to try it. I have a hard time setting goals and following through on them and this format seemed like something that might actually work for me.

The concept originated with DayZero who call it "an action list not a bucket list".

The Challenge? Just what it says - complete 101 preset tasks in the timeframe of 1,001 days.

The Criteria? The tasks have to be specific (no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is measurable or clearly defined. And the tasks have to be realistic and stretching (so there is some amount of work on your part).

So without further adieu here is my list. I'll be blogging as I go and updating my list here.

Feel inspired? Start your own list and get goaling!
