Why I Need To Write Down Taking My Dog For A Hike

Do you find yourself too busy to take time out for your favorite friend? I do....so that's why I have to set goals to make sure I take care of her sanity as well as mine.

For years I have been doing a project that helps me to keep on track. It's called 101 Goals in 1001 Days and it is very easy to start and so gratifying to work with. Very simply you think of everything you would like to do that you haven't done or would like to do more of, habits that you would like to set and list them. It can be as simple as baking a rainbow cake to climbing Everest. The idea is to get it all in a place where you can organize and check off your achievements as you go. Then you have a little over two and a half years (technically 2.74) to get it all done.

Have I ever gotten the whole list done? Nope. What I have found is that as the 1001 days went by was that some goals were not possible at the time, or what was important to me changed. But you know what? Each time I have done it I have gotten much more done than ever, had more great experiences than ever, and focused on what was important to me, allowing more happiness than I ever dreamed. Below is my new 101 Goals In 1001 Days List. How many of them do you think I will actually do? How many would you like to do? Tell me some of the things you'd like to do and if you decide to join me in this project done world wide let me know so I can cheer you on. It's a fun thing to do and I guarantee your life will never be the same.
