101 Goals in 1001 Days

My Goals for Myself, My Family, and My Home for the Next (almost) 3 Years

A while back, a friend of mine introduced me to the concept of planning out 101 goals to be completed in 1001 days. Since then, I’ve done this twice. I wish I had the very first one I made just out of law school–I have a strong feeling it would look entirely different, as I wrote it as a single woman, without kids, having just started my career, living in a new city. We’re probably talking night and day different.

Typically, “they” say that you want a goal to be S.M.A.R.T.–Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time Bound. I’ve mostly stuck to these rules below, though I’ve tried to mix up both serious and fun, quick and more involved, and several in between. Oh and, while I want to share as much as possible with you, dear reader, some things are not only mine to share or are just too personal for me right now to talk about.

As I finish my goals, I’ll write a post and link to it here. I would LOVE it if you share some of your goals in the comments as well!

Do you have a particular way of outlining your goals? Do you break them into a specific period of time? Into categories? Do you enjoy it as much as me?
