101 Things in 1001 Days; A Bucket List
The project: Complete 101 tasks in 1,001 days (2.75 years). Most of the tasks are not focused on money or material purchases, but more on the experiences I want to have in my life. Some are realistic goals like graduate from college or pay off my credit cards. Others are more whimsical, like trying macaroons in a new city or escaping on a weekend getaway.
Inspired by Design Darling’s 101 in 1001 list (also known as the Day Zero Project).
The rules: Document each completed task with a photo on the blog or on a social media page. Then deposit $10 into a savings account for each task accomplished.
