101 Things in 1001 Days

I was sorting out my documents on my laptop the other night, I am really bad at keeping things in folders and I rediscovered my 101 in 1001 list I created this summer. Reading through it I was surprised by what I had managed to achieve on it so far without even thinking about it and I thought that in order to keep motivated with it I would post it here. I did debate resetting the clock for the entire list but I have instead opted to keep it the same (bar from a few of them!). Anybody who knows me will know that I love making lists, I will make a list of lists I need to make and my boyfriend even got me a valentines card which referenced to do lists! I made this list on the 28th July 2013 which means that my end date is the 24th April 2016, so I still have OVER two years to complete it, no excuse for failure! Anyway enough blabbing, here is my list (I couldn't get the numbering to work on here so you will have to trust me that it is 101, or get really bored and count them for yourselves ;) )

If you managed to read this far down then I am impressed! As you can see I have currently completed 17 of my 101 things which my calculations puts me slightly behind target (by about a month) but there are a fair few long term aims on here so I am still optimistic I can get it done!

Have you made a 101 in 1001 days list? Did you manage to complete it or did you forget all about it like me?

  1. Wow that's great!! :)
    I myself haven't made a 101 in 1001 list, but reading other people's kinda makes me want to one day!! Kinda scared of the commitment of getting everything done on it if I made one haha but definitely would get you out of a rut or out of your comfort zone which definitely would make it worth it :)!
    With 2 years to go, you'll probably get a bunch more done, no worries! Good luck and have fun!

    1. I was surprised that I'd done quite a bit without intending to! Hopefully can power through a few more this month!

  3. Great idea! I've got a bucketlist on my blog, I think it makes me more determined to do things just so I can tick it off and post about it! ;)

  4. My first blog leanneeef.wordpress.com was based on a 101 things in 1001 days list. I managed 65 in total so not too bad going! Good luck with yours! x
