101 goals in 1001 days, Challenge accepted!
Hello again readers! So... I started writing this post like, 2 years ago. So much for goals, haha! I really like this idea, though, so it's time to post it and make it legit.
My friend Meghan from A Day in the life of a Hitchcock Blonde, and I, back in the day, decided to try an idea we found on Design Darling, an adorable fashion blog that a friend from work shared with us (We all love finding new blogs to read!) The idea is 101 things in 1001 days. You make a list of things you'd like to accomplish in 1001 days, which is about 2.75 years. I actually googled the idea and found The Day Zero Project, a website totally devoted to helping people make goal-setting lists. There are tons of ideas to help get you started (cuz really...101 is A LOT of goals! It's harder than you might think!). I encourage everyone to check it out! It's a lot of fun.
So what do I want to accomplish in 1001 then?? Here's my list so far; I hope it gives you some motivation to start doing those things you always talk about doing but never do! Let's do it. Hopefully by now I have a few I can check of the list!:
