My 101 in 1001
What is 101 in 1001?
It’s a bucket list of sorts-a list of 101 tasks to be completed in 1001 days. I stumbled across this idea in the blog world when I stumbled across Hello Rigby; a blog after my own heart: a girl and her dog.
I have always liked the idea of having a list of big goals but really like that this list gives me the motivation to complete them all in 1001 days, instead of waiting until I die. I asked D if he would do it with me, and he was all for it! Some of the goals we came up with are more for him and some are more for me, but as long as we are supporting each other, I figure we can accomplish them all! We love that we have a list to refer to on rainy Saturdays when we usually just watch tv for hours on end!
How does it work?
All items on a list must be measurable, specific and documented. I plan on using this blog as a place to track our progress, along with pictures!
