101 in 1001 #BehindTheBlogger

The end of the year is often like an “end of the road” of sorts–I’m reaching the end of my “second” 101 in 1001 very soon, and with every ending, there is a new beginning, so here’s the start of mine!

I’ve been doing these 101 in 1001’s for several years now and it’s been fun getting to go back to see the things I have/haven’t accomplished over the years! Here’s to many more! :]

Here’s the one from 2011-2014…and the one from 2014-2016!

Why 1001?

Many people have created lists in the past – frequently simple goals such as New Year’s resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. To start your own, calculate the finish date here!
