I completed my first round of 101 in 1001 starting in 2016 and ending just earlier this year. What is 101 in 1001, you ask? It's a list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days (about 2.75 years). This is such a fun process because it's really interesting to see how many things you can complete when you set your mind to it (it's almost like a game!), but it's also really cool to see how your priorities and interests change over time, too. This is round two for me, and I'm excited to see the growth that comes from this challenge.


Please feel free to make your own 101 in 1001 list, or share one you've already got going, into the comments below. Let's cheer each other on.

  2. How do you track your achievements? Do you keep these goals written in a journal? Electronic or paper? Which works best for you. I know that my preference may be different from what best benefits you, but I am open to suggestions as I have never done a log of this magnitude.

    Do you use an app or have something to remind you of the goals you have yet to complete, or something to check off to congratulate yourself on each achievement?

    1. During the first round, I would mostly pop back over here to the blog to check on my goals. I would do a quarterly check-in where I would think back to the things I had achieved, but I had no formal way of really keeping myself accountable or tracking my achievements. I love the idea of keeping them in a journal or maybe in a notepad on my phone. I'd like to be better at tracking them this time around. But your comment has definitely made me think about being more intentional this time around!

  3. I LOVE this, I never finished my last one but really want to start another list. I will have to do another. I highly recommend visiting a salt room- I wrote about my experience and really enjoyed it :) Can't wait to follow along your list!

    1. Your experience with the salt room inspired me to put it on this list, actually! I'd seen one before when we had traveled to Asheville, but hearing about your experience really sold me on it. I didn't do terrible during my last round, but I would definitely like to do more this time around.

    1. OH, yes! I'm going to check your's out. I love these lists - I think they're the coolest.

    2. Lol, jk! I noticed I already looked at your's and commented on it. I got confused with all the different lists I've looked at recently for inspiration. I love to see that we have so many goals in common.

      PS - I have a referral link for Girlfriend Collective to get $10 off a purchase of $95 (which is about what a set costs). Let me know if you're interested. <3
