I’ve decided to do this… 101 things in 1001 days. From what I gather, it was started over at the Day Zero List website, which is a website where you can set up timed bucket lists to keep track of your progress and make sure you actually get things done. I originally found out about this project when I started reading Meagan’s blog, All the Joys, and have seen it on a handful of other blogs.
It surprisingly only took me a day to come up with 101 things I’d like to do over the next 2.75 years. I might have cheated and took some items off my 2016 Goals and 25 Before 25 lists – since some items on the latter won’t be happening anytime in the next month. So, here’s a look at the 101 things I hope to accomplish in the next 1001 days!

I don’t know if I’ll be able to complete the entire list, but I’m sure as heck going to do my best. The official start date is today, of course, and this project will end on January 2nd, 2019. It seems like a long time, but I’m it’ll go by faster than I’m expecting.
Do you have any bucket lists like this one? Would you try this?

Congrats to you for actually getting to 101 things, I wouldn’t even know where to start haha! Wishing all the best of luck with achieving it all! x
Thanks! It was actually easy once I started going on it. The ideas just kept coming :)
Your post just inspired me to try this as well. But the problem with a procrastinator like me is that we never stick to the plan. :P Still, I’d love to give it a try. Maybe I’ll workout a smaller version…starting with like 4-5 activities. lol. But anyways, yours is quite a list. And I see that there are a lot of things that I myself want to do.
All the best for this journey! :)
I think the reason it’s not as intimidating as it looks is because I have nearly 3 years to complete it. Though I’ve been trying to make sure they were goals that weren’t too far out of my reach… like traveling to Europe or something, haha. I hope yours goes well! :)
