I just recently came across the “101 Things in 1001 Days” challenge.
Instantly, I knew it was something I wanted to do. This is such a Del thing… I love challenges like this!
If you are new to this idea, essentially “101 Things in 1001 Days” is exactly what it sounds like… the idea is to set 101 goals for yourself to accomplish in 1001 days.
1001 days… that is just under 2.75 years. That gives you plenty of time to CRUSH those goals.
The goals can be big or small. You may have “vacuum my trunk out” on your list… or you may have “visit Europe and fall in love” on your list. Truly, the 101 goals are all in your hands! That’s the beauty of this challenge!
To get you started, here is my own list.
There are some great ideas here.
This list is perfect to grab some inspiration from for your own 101 in 1001 list!
Before you start, make sure you take note of today’s date and the date 1001 days from now. (You can calculate that HERE… please don’t try to do it in your head).

So fun to see your list. You are doing great already.

Og girl, make pasta! It’s not hard, and you don’t need special equipment. My mom made egg noodles on the kitchen table, and she’d hang them over a wooden clothes drying rack to dry. They were fabulous – like the “amish” noodles. And by the way… falling in love isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Take that one off your list.
Delaney says
Oh my gosh!! Pasta > love. Got it!
I love this so much!! Thank you for the tips!! <3
