101 Things in 1001 Days
A few years ago, I came across this concept called “101 Things in 1001 Days.” The objective is to set 101 goals for yourself, big and small, that you strive to achieve in 1001 days. If you do the math, it ends up being a little over 2.5 years. This year, I’ve decided to finally join in on the challenge.
Along with the goals I set myself for 2019 in my last post, I’ve also created a list of things I want to achieve within the next few years. There are things on my list that are as little as setting an “adult” dentist appointment for myself, and then there are much more difficult tasks such as paying off my car early.
I want to use this challenge to not only help me do some of the things I’ve been putting off, but also encourage me to do more things just for fun. I’ll be sharing updates of my progress on my blog if you want to keep up with me on my journey.
