101 in 1001
Wednesday, June 01, 2016
I'm a goal-setter. I love making a list and being able to mark an item off when it's been completed. Truly, to-do lists are mini goal lists, and I just can't get enough. This list is far from mini. In fact, it's 101 different goals that I hope to accomplish in 1001 days (approximately 2.75 years). It's important that while the goals may be challenging, that they are also attainable. There's no point in setting a goal that's impossible to meet.

Several other blogs have these lists, as well, but I've yet to join a link-up. Perhaps I will in the future, even though I won't be on schedule with their lists. If you also have a list, or happen to create one, please leave the link in the comments. I love seeing people's goals and accomplishments! I will update this list regularly, and complete quarterly check-ins.
