101 Goals for 1001 Days (85)
I came across this somewhat unique goal setting idea on some other blogs and was completely inspired. I’m big on goal-setting and I think that the time that has gone by without working towards a goal in my life has been wasted. I love the flexibility of this list and I’m excited to start tackling these. You may notice some repeat goals from those I set on my birthday but I wanted to include them because the timeline overlaps :)!!
My start date for this challenge was 1.11.14 so a few goals are already in progress. I’m still working on coming up with the remainder of my goals but I think I’ve got a pretty solid start. I’ll be updating and blogging as I chug along. Any recommendations for things I should/could add to my list?
