101 Things in 1001 Days

I’m not sure how I stumbled upon Mackenzie Horan’s list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days, but I’m stoked that I did! I started a list back in 2017, and realized I was due for an update and a new list. And of course, with all of this newfound time in quarantine, I had no excuses. I love being able to mix smaller bite size goals in with larger bucket list type goals that can be done in 2.75 years!

This is not only a post to keep myself accountable, but maybe you’ll be inspired to create your own list (I’ve been told writing your goals down ups your chances of the goals being hit, as I’m sure you’ve heard too).

I’ll keep updating this list as I go, and I’m hoping to beat my record!
