Monday Motivation: 101 in 1001
Welcome to a new week, everyone! It's 9:30 am and I can almost hear the universal groans of having to go back to work after a nice 4th of July weekend. I feel like Mondays are hard for almost everyone - unless you're a crazy workaholic who is also a morning person. If that's you, I give you props. I love mornings and I love my work, but not enough to be excited about the Monday that follows a summer holiday that involves red, white, and blue.
So, to spread some motivation around I'm debuting my list of 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. If you're a part of the blogging community, you've probably seen these types of posts floating around. I'm surprised I haven't made one earlier, but now that I've completed the list I'm excited and motivated to get started. Also, special thanks to Caroline from Creating She who inspired me to create my list!
If you aren't familiar with this concept, let me explain; The goal is to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days. Some of them are short term, others are long term. Some are a stretch, while others can be completed in a day. Why 1001 days? That's roughly under three years, which gives you plenty of time, and seasonal opportunities to complete your goals. For me, this makes more sense than New Years resolutions. Plus I really freakin' love to make lists.
If a goal is striked through, I've completed it. If it is bold, I'm in the process of completing it. If it's in a different color, that means there is a link to a blog post about it (and you should check it out!).
If this post has inspired you in some way, share it with others using the buttons at the bottom of the page (FB, Twitter, Pinterest are all options). I want to spread as much motivation as possible on this lovely Monday! If you're thinking about creating your own list - let me know! Tweet me a link to your list, comment down below, etc etc. Let's get started!
