Goals: 101 Things

May 25, 2010

The desire to put together a list of things has been stirring in me for some time. I love lists. I love crossing things off lists. Talk about SATISFACTION.

Local photographer Shaun Ring posted something on his blog that made me take action. Here is his description:

The mother of all lists is the 101 in 1001 list.  It’s a way to get in writing 101 things you want to accomplish in the next 1001 days.  The thinking is this—Instead of having one or two big goals to accomplish in a year (New Year’s anyone?), why not put down everything big and small you can possibly think of, and give yourself almost 3 years to get there?

This 100 in 1001 list is definitely something I could get behind. I have SO.MANY goals. SO.MANY things I want to need to do.

Then I read this post from 146 pounds which asked why we wait to make our Bucket Lists. I ask myself the same thing often, but haven’t acted from that thought.

So, I wanted to share my 101 in 1001 list with you. It’s amazing how 53 of the items of my 101 list are related to my weight. Either directly or indirectly (lacking confidence, lacking the ability to FIT places, etc.) My full list is on DayZeroProject, but my weight loss items are all here on my blog for you to see me cross them off.

Would you ever make a list like this? What would some key items be on it?

    Thanks for the kick in the butt. I had seen this site a while back, and put it on the back burner. I did a similar list back before I turned 40. It was my Fab40 list. I loved it, and was actually able to do quite a few things, but needed a break after that! I started a list on the DayZeroProject site just now, but I have a long way to go to get to 101, I am only on 16!

    Hmm would I ever make a list?? I would like to. INteresting tha tso many of yours are weight loss related. I am certain mine would be similar. Just a thought and if I do a list I am going to try to consider this. What if our weight issues were not allowed onthe list? How different would it be? I know personally my weight has held me back so many times. Great psot now you got me thinking!

    Lists ARE satisfying. I have felt intimidated with 101 in 1001… sometimes I think I need to just bite the bullet. I wonder if I can come up with 101… could you put down things you wanted to try that you have already completed? LOL To make yourself feel better?
