101 Things In 1001 Days

September 26, 2018 By nextphaseinfitness 26 Comments

IMG_6273

Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed about my to-do list which seems to be getting longer and longer, and rarely seems to get anything ticked off as done.

A couple of weeks ago I came across blogger, Joanne’s post 101 things in 1001 days. Immediately, I knew that this was the challenge for me. Many of the things that I need to get done are urgent, but many more are ‘wants’ not ‘needs’ and don’t need a quick time frame.

This challenge is to come up with a list of 101 things to be done in 1001 days.  I am starting this challenge today, so 1001 days from today is Tuesday June 22 2021. That sounds so far into the future that I don’t need to stress about it. But I know how quickly time can fly, so will need to plod away at that list constantly.

The criteria is that the list be specific and realistic and that the tasks require effort on my part to get them done.  Some of the things on my list are very small items, some are larger but do-able, and some are just long term dreams. So this list gives me both a short term and long term focus. Who knows, those long term dreams could become reality. Where would we be if we couldn’t and didn’t dream?

I hope the tasks on my list make sense to you. There may be some in the genealogy section that only another genealogist would understand. Most of the items on the list may seem to be practical day-to-day items. Because I’ve been stressing lately about always being behind schedule, i have decided to mainly concentrate on the practical, with a few ‘fun’ items thrown in, just for fun.

I will come back often and tick off tasks as they are done, and post the results from time to time. I have copied number 101 on my list from Joanne as I would also love to inspire at least one other person to join me in this challenge. Joanne, you can tick off your number 101.

    Ok I need to have a lie down and rest after reading your list! Sell your speedboat? Who knew you had one. I look forward to seeing the ticks and reading of the adventures surrounding them.

      Hi Sue, the speedboat hasn’t had an outing for a few years so time for it to go.

    Intriguing, but sorry I’m not quite on board yet. I found it very interesting that you had items in buckets – walking, genealogy, garden, etc. I’m not even sure what my big bucket areas would be…maybe that’s what I need to consider first!

    I’m constantly impressed with people who can come up with lists like this Jennifer – yours is do-able too and I bet you’re going to enjoy ticking off the different points as you work your way through your list. I love that you have different categories too so that you don’t get bored with it at any stage. #MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂

    I LOVE this idea! While I find it intimidating to think of 101 things (!) I like how you categorized your tasks. I will pin this for future reference and perhaps start my own list of 101 in 1001 🙂
