My first day!

I know that it's only been one day and I don't have that much exciting stuff to tell you yet.  But to start off right I thought I might as well blog my first update!

Goal 1  -  Completed

My first goal wasn't that difficult and to be honest I might have cheated a bit... I got this piggy bank from my cousine about 1,5 years ago and thought I might as well use it for this! So there you go!


Goal 6  -  Completed

This goals wasn't too challenging either.  I printed out my goals list and hung it up on our bedroom door! No escaping it now!!!


Goal 64  -  In progress

This goal is actually quite exciting.  Last night I went to an information session with LifeLine WA on how to become an Accredited Telephone Counseller with them.  It is a 1,5 year process and I am really interested in doing this.  It is a big commitment so I am going to think about it for a while and I am also waiting what kind of job I'll be able to get and when.  It would be a bit full on to start a new job & this course at the same time!  But... it is in progress!!

The following goals are also in progress:
Goal 2 - Donate $3 for every completed goal into my piggy bank (1/101).
Goal 5 - Blog my progress of this project and include photos of at least 50 goals (2/50).
Goal 11 - Get to my goal weight.
Goal 38 - Read at least 2 books a month (0/33).
Goal 86 - Earn 500.000 grains of rice on freerice.com (6000/500.000)
Goal 92 - Keep my houseplants alive.

I think I am on the right path here!!

Love Ivet

101 goals in 1001 days!


I recently read about a project called "Day Zero". I loved the idea of it and decided I should do it.  My problem is that I never really finish anything.  Hopefully this project will motivate me and keep me focussed on completing goals!  One of my goals is to keep you up to date of how things go so I will blog my progress as many times as I can!!

The Mission:
Complete 101 goals in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Goals must be specific with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Goals must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as New Year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.
