You all know I love a good list. When I first saw Mackenzie’s 101 things in 1001 days list last year, I was intrigued. The premise is simple – come up with 101 things you want to do in the next 1001 days. It took me 2-3 months, but I finally created my own. It was a lot harder to come up with 101 things than I initially thought it would be!
While I usually am all about setting goals/intentions/resolutions for the new year, this year I decided to skip it. I still feel like I’m in survival mode. I didn’t want to set myself up for failure. But, give me 3 years to complete a list and I’m game.
My list is all over the place from getting a tattoo to completing Lawson and Sybil’s baby books. Some things I are “one and done” (Whole30) and others I’d love to make a longer term habit (drink 8 glasses of water a day).
Since I started putting together this list a few months ago, my official start is September 1st. Yes, that means I’ve already accomplished some things. I gotta say, it feels good. I had vowed not to make any clothing purchases for a month, but I only made it 6 days. I’m starting that one over today. :)
