I've noticed on a few blogs lately, lists of things people want to do. Similar, I guess to a bucket list, but with a time limit. The lists are somewhat less grandiose (live in Paris for a year not necessarily the type of items you'd find) and have to be measurable.
It's called the Day Zero Project and lists 101 things you would like to accomplish in 1001 days. So that's just under 3 years.
Being a list kind of girl, myself, I thought I'd make my own. So here is my 101 in 1001.
Some of these goals are small and seemingly insignificant. Others are bigger, and will take work to get close to.
I will write in a different colour as I check them off.

I'll pin this and cross each item off as I complete them.
Sounds good...would take me forever to compile...more homework! But you're right, there's no point making grandiose goals, it's the little things that are easy to achieve and you feel so good when you cross them off.
ReplyDeletegreat list - look forward to hearing about each adventure as you cross each item off the list.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! God I wouldnt know where to start with my list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list, I love it!Hmm, I may think about creating one myself.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how you are going with this. It seems a lovely thing to do - goal oriented but in a gentle way.
