  1. This is a really good idea! I might do a shortened version of this – maybe half the amount, but it’s a great way to set goals!

  2. I’m almost halfway through my first 101 in 1001 list and I definitely plan to continue doing them every 3 or so years. Your goals are so specific and well thought out, plus they seem super achievable. Good luck!

  8. Whoo – these are all awesome goals. I just turned 27 in May so I’m thinking of doing a 30 by 30 list, so I have about three years to get that finished!

    I admire your drive and dedication to your list and completing what you set out to complete. This is way further than I have gone this year, I hate that the year is ending and I really don’t feel 100% accomplished in what I wanted to do, but I know I will keep moving forward and can always start again in the new year or even now 😉

    Such a great idea!! But no, I haven’t made a list… I think I’m better at just winging it and doing spontaneous things haha! I think my list would just change every day! But some of the things on yours look really cool, and I wish you all the best in completing it:) thanks for sharing!

  16. Oh I do love lists!!! I have like 10 different ones going on my phone app at any given time that range from stuff to do, stuff to buy, and places to visit. I never made a huge one like this before though. I just might have to do it.
