101 goals in 1001 days

Pin It

My PUG group leader posted an interesting post on her blog today. She had gone to a seminar by Debbie Allen. You can check out her post here. http://www.melissajill.com/blog.html
The seminar had a lot to do with goals and she encouraged everyone to write them down. I have heard this is a good idea to write down all your goals on paper. What I like about this idea is that you can have little goals, big goals, selfish goals, realistic goals, everything that matters to you. You write down 101 goals and accomplish them in 1001 days. So I thought- sure I'll try it. I have to admit, I got to about 49 and started struggling. It's harder than you think. But if you really sit and think, it will come to you. So here are mine. I would love to know what you think about it and feel free to send me your list.
I have until November 4, 2009 to accomplish this list!
