101 Things in 1001 Days

Do you ever think about all the things you want to accomplish or all the cool new things you want to try, but when you start to think about all the things you want to do the list can be super overwhelming? Yeah, me too!

But this year I am really focused to take more action in all areas of my life, no matter what! There are home projects I want to tackle, wellness trends I want to try, tips I want to take and fun thing I am yearning to experience.

A few week’s ago I was inspired by one of my favorite home bloggers who created this idea of completing 101 things in 1001 days. I loved the idea of brain dumping a list of all the things I want to accomplish and then giving myself 1001 days (2.75 years) to complete as many of the items as possible. I love that the timeline is lengthy and flexible so you don’t feel overwhelmed with getting everything done immediately. To me it seemed like a fun and easy way to keep track of goals that fall somewhere between my daily to do list and bucket list.

I had so much fun creating my list (below) and I hope it inspires you to create your own. Make sure to check back to see what I end up crossing off in the next 1001 days.
