101 in 1001 Days: 2020
10:30 AM, by fanta kamara
I was inspired to create my own 101 in 1001 Days list after seeing so many bloggers share theirs. I love the idea because it’s half bucket list, half to-do list. 1001 days is roughly 2.75 years—just enough time to accomplish a number of goals and those must-do tasks with sense of calm urgency, if that makes sense. I think about the number of things I’ve accomplished in a year (let alone two) and although many of them aren’t Bucket List worthy, I’m quite pleased with myself.
I created my current 101 in 1001 list earlier this month and I aim to complete the items on this list by January 2023. Here’s my list:
