There's a challenge called the 101 in 1001. People are creating lists of 101 tangible goals to be accomplished in 1001 days. Have any of you done this? I'm trying to get my list done, but it's hard to think of 101 things I both want to do and think I can do. Some of what is on my list are things I must do: make a will etc. But I want to have fun achievable things too.
Any of the rest of you with lists?

I'm a new Mom trying to juggle working at home and having a young baby. In the past year and a half I have gotten married, graduated college, and had a baby. I am trying to build up a business as a spanish/english translator. My husband is a teacher...so we get by, but we could always use more money. I also want to continue to keep my skills sharp, because I know I'm not going to want to stay home forever. I'm interested in making friends and networking with other inspired mamas!

Wow I've never heard of this before. It sounds really fun. What a great way to track your progress. 1001 days, what is that like 2.5 years? Hmmm...I think I need to see other people's lists.
Here are a few things that I would put on there off the bat:
Pay off the credit card
Make a will (like you Kat)
Learn to play 3 songs on the guitar
Set up a craft room
Finish babyjama's baby blanket
That's all I can think of right now. Good luck with your list!

I am the co-founder & CEO of Work It, Mom! This is my first stint as a full-time entrepreneur and it's the most thrilling and scary thing I've ever done.
Before launching Work It, Mom! I slaved away in the dark world of venture capital.

I LOVE stuff like that - Maybe we should start a group on WIM for it?

Group is a great idea - would be interesting to see what members have on their lists and hopefully large percentage gets accomplished within the timeframe!!!

I have most of my list done and posted here</a>. I still have 28 or so spaces left open. I'm not sure what else I plan on doing!

My list is here
That was amazing to make up this list . . . I need to modify and straighten up some of them, as they don't necessarily fit the rules (specific items) . .. but it's a start.
I've printed it off 5 times and have it posted around my house. Feels good!

This is a great idea! It's amazing how writing down your goals helps to get them out of your head and closer to becoming a reality. In my coaching practice, I encourage clients to write down their goals (not necessarily 101 of them!) and put realistic deadlines with them. Then we work toward moving forward with them and eliminating things that potentially stand in the way (usually it's procrastination, limiting beliefs or some type of fear) of success. I've always been a goal-setter - I love to be able to check things off the list!
