New 101 goals in 1001 list The time has come for my second go round, and I'm looking for inspiration. Anyone else doing or done one?
I did one 12/04-08/07, and it was a lot of fun. I sort of lost steam at the end, but I guess that's to be expected on some level. Now I'm ready for round two! I particularly am looking for personal experience/learning stuff to add to my list, like things I should cook from scratch or classes I should take.
I'm googling and reading lots of lists- several people set up a "fine" (money given to charity) for every item on the list they don't do. I like the idea- would help keep me motivated to complete the list, plus would help me make sure I write a list I want to complete more than I want to give away money!
I set one up wayyyy back when on LJ, but I never actually made much progress that I kept track of or anything. Perhaps next year, once I get a year's worth of the Embodiment project under my belt.
2 months ago I made a list of 50 things I wanted do (from practical projects around the house to creative activities) in the next year. I had never heard of the 101/1001 concept - but I like it. I like the fact that it's a bit wider than the list I had set up, so I can add a few longshots as well as a few more frivolous things I'd most likely not do if they weren't on a list. I'll be retooling my list and plan of attack over the next few weeks.
