101 in 1001

What is 101 in 1001?

The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on your part).

Why am I partaking in this challenge? Because why not?! If you know me, you know I love making lists. I have a tendency to put completed items on my list just to cross them off. That is how much I love lists. That being said, I used to be terrible at completing said lists. I've created bucket lists just for the sake of it, and honestly, I'm tired of dreaming and not succeeding. I want to accomplish my goals and live life fully.

How am I going to do this, you ask? Earlier this year I stumbled across a really awesome tool created by Lara Casey called Powersheets. This packet of goal-setting pages are intended to encourage people to "make things happen." I began my first set of power sheets in June of this year and I am so excited about the progress I've made. So, I plan to use these sheets to complete my 101 in 1001. Here goes nothing!

So here I go, 101 goals in 1001 days
