The Big List of Goals: 101 in 1001

Why did I start this life project? Because I have this deep desire to accomplish as many things as I possibly can and I wanted a way to keep track of my goals! So after perusing the internet for more hours than I’d like to admit, I came across so many bloggers who have done/have been doing the “101 in 1001” or Day Zero Project list/challenge. My main inspiration came from Mackenzie Horan. She’s inspired so many people to do their own 101 in 1001 list that I knew I had to hop on the wagon!

For me, I wanted to create a hashtag that goes along with my list. Because “contented” is a big part of my brand, I’ve decided to call this The Contented Project. On my socials, I’ll be using the hashtag #thecontentedproject on all posts that are part of my 101 in 1001 list. 

I wanted to create this list and challenge myself to actually complete all 101 goals. I intend on blogging about every single goal as I accomplish them as another way to keep myself accountable. All blog posts that talk about my accomplished goals are linked through the date of completion! Drop the link to your list in the comments so I can create an inspiration section!
