Back in January my Sister-in-law Krista introduced me to the Day Zero website, where you aim to make 101 goals that you'll accomplish in 1001 days. It's a 3 year bucket list. Back then I spent several weeks planning out perfectly what my 101 goals should be. I was meticulous, but overwhelmed, and not honest with myself with what I really wanted. There was a problem of making some of the goals too big, like learn 500 Japanese Kanji. So, in many ways, I didn't allow myself a chance for succuss. I did complete 14 goals before giving up, so it wasn't all bad.
Recently I decided to reevaluate my list and start anew, and decided that my greatest chance for success was to keep many of my goals private, so that I can create a list more honest to what I need at this point in my life. And I devised a way to keep myself on track.
This time around I typed out my goals into categories. As I'm working on a goal I'll keep track of the details on regular lined paper, but as soon as I finish a goal, I'm going to type out a journal like entry about my experience, what I learned, and maybe include some pictures. Even with all this I still may not be able to finish all the goals, but if that happens those goals will bump over to the next 1001 days, which will start June 2, 2015.
Some of the goals I'm working on:
Read 6 Young Adult/Young Reader book series
Read 100 Sci-fi/Fantasy Short-Stories
Learn Amigurumi
Learn Wire Art Jewelry
Compose an Original 8-bit Song
Learn to Edit Videos
Take a Cooking Class
Attend a New Exercise Class
Make a Visual Goal College
Have an Original Star Wars Marathon
Lean the JLPT N5 Kanji
Visit Another Country
Etc
This time around I'm going to have fun with this! And learn a lot at the same time:0)
