One Hundred & One Goals in One Thousand & One Days

101 in 1001

One of the most unique and  and helpful differences between Kathryn and me has to do with the way we plan, dream, and set goals. I am a BIG picture dreamer, and she is a realistic, detailed goal setter. We have always talked about the idea of setting goals as a couple, but it is difficult to do that with our differing styles. A few weeks ago I cam across Melissa Jill’s photography blog. Her work is incredible and she came up with an idea called 101 in 1001 which is a list of 101 goals to be completed in 1001 days.

This type of list works well for us because it allows us to dream a few years out, but also set short-term goals. It took us awhile to get 80 things we wanted to do, so we will be updating our list as we go. We will also blog about some of our ventures! We love working hard and striving towards goals, and now that we have them written down, we are excited to get started!

If you start your own list of 101 goals in 1001 days, we want to hear about them! Leave a comment with a link to your list!
