101 Tasks in 1001 Days – Goals to Complete

One of my favorite bloggers, And Possibly Dinosaurs, inspired me to take on the 101 in 1001 challenge. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to come up with 101 tasks I want to complete. Making wish lists is just as difficult for me. Still, I’m looking forward to this challenge. If you have any suggestions for me to add, let me know  I’ll be sharing my accomplishments here on the blog and on Instagram.

Key: ☐ Noted | Completed | Linked Progress

About 101 Tasks in 1001 Days

Challenge yourself to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days. Make the task list before you start. Don’t be ambiguous. Tasks must be specific (either measurable or definitive). Choose realistic tasks that take effort over a stretch of time. It should take effort on your part to make the challenge worth it. Learn more about the challenge by Day Zero Project.

I’ve been working on simplifying this year and focusing on one task at a time. I like the idea of making a list of tasks I want to complete so I can focus on each of them through out 1001 days. This will help me save my ideas for later and look forward to new goals. Another plus is seeing my progress as I cross them off the list.

I’ll be working on challenges in 9 categories: simplify, well-being, edification, on the menu, kindness, creativity, career, collections, and… other stuff I haven’t thought of yet.
