A friend introduced me to a project she is working on... one that combines personal growth with opportunities for fun. It's the 101 List, and it challenges brave souls to "Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days." I must say, I was intrigued.
The premise is that we all set goals, but rarely do we achieve them because we do not set a time frame in which they must be completed. It becomes, "I'll see the Eiffel Tower... someday" or "One of these days, I am finally going to clean out the garage," and we end up never meeting our goals.
By the way, I AM going to clean out the garage, someday.
Anyway... It works out to just over 2.5 years, or one new task every 10-ish days. I think I can handle that. So, I have started my own list of 101 Things To Do In 1001 Days. It's a work in progress, so don't judge. Some of the goals are quick and fun, like taking a cake decorating class, whereas others are more serious, like writing a will. Some will be easier than others. Some require a lot of preparation, and others require me to fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants. Regardless, I am looking forward to the challenge.
Anyone else want to join me? Click the image at the top of this post for more info on starting your own list. (And link to your list in the comments, if you're feeling extra brave!)
