The Challenge and Why I’m Doing It

The challenge is to make a list of 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days.  It is similar to a New  Year’s resolution or a Bucket List but it allows you to create specific goals that can be obtained in a more reasonable timeline.  Read more about the challenge here.

So, for the past few years I’ve made a New Years resolution list.  While I try to follow it and accomplish the things I’ve listed, it hasn’t quite worked as well as one would hope.  I really liked the idea of this challenge and blogging about it because now I am held accountable for completing these goals.  When I typically write up my little resolutions list, I don’t share it with anyone, which means I am probably less likely to get anything done.

This list was REALLY hard to come up with.  Thinking of 101 things that you’d like to do is a lot tougher than I thought.  Thankfully, my friend Erin and I started this project together, so I was able to steal a few things from her list and vice versa.  (If you want to follow her journey as well, here’s the link).  I will admit that I also Googled a lot of other lists to get some creative ideas, there are lots out there.  Some people in the world are just straight up weird, so I did not take ideas from those lists.
