One year ago I started a project. I wanted to cross off 101 goals in 1000 days. And to stay on track I have already decided to do an annual goal check-in. Today is the day: I want to see how far I have come. And maybe you also like to have a look. Then follow along:

Checked goals on the bucket list

Let’s start with all the goals that have been successfully been crossed of the list.

• Number 12 – sign up to photo selling platform
  I have signed up. Check out here. Unfortunately it has not yet brought me any sales.
• Number 39 – moms favorite book
  I read it. My thoughts about it here.
• Number 42 – re-watch Gilmore Girls
  Easy one.
• Number 45 – fix blog issue
  Some things don’t take much time but are on your list for ever…
• Number 56 – jewelry stand
  I did it and couldn’t be prouder. My tutorial can be found here.
• Number 61 – Dad craft weekend
  I did and we build a pergola, my jewelry stand and fixed a few things. It was a fun thing but also not easy to work alongside.
• Number 69 – photo road trip
  I did hop in the car twice. Not many photos have been made though. I can’t quite decide where to stop and some things look better from the car. Higher vantage point?! I think I keep trying though.
• Number 74 – no sugar
  I was surprised how easy it was once I decided and managed the first two weeks. But as soon as I “allowed” myself sugar again I am back with chocolate and cake cravings. It sucks. Not sure if it really helped the migraine as I stared new medication at the same time. But I think so.

Goals in progress on the 101 things in 1001 days bucket list

• Number 3 – set up living will
  When corona was heating up I sat down one night and started. It was overwhelming and so I never continued/finished.
• Number 4 – new pots & pans
  I had a look. I found some I would get but Mr. ♡ has some opinion too and so I didn’t feel like continuing
• Number 11 – full time projects
  Well, I did land two new project but both were not full-time. So I am hesitant to cross off anything.
• Number 15 – new out-of-home-offices
  I worked in one new place which was ok, but I don’t think I’ll end up there again. And then Corona started.
• Number 18 – see new places
  3/10 Not bad so far. We’ll see how it goes with Corona on the way.
• Number 28 – new recipes
  2/10 I could probably do better here.
• Number 31 – new restaurants
  3/10 Went to a pizza place and it was probably the best pizza ever. Also this Vietnamese place was delicious.
• Number 34 – see World Heritage sights
  2/3 – almost done.
• Number 37 – read books
  83/125 – I am doing great. Maybe I up this number.
• Number 46 – continue to blog
  I am doing it and I am more consistent too. Love it.
• Number 47 – NaBloPoMo
  0/2 I tried but had my arm issue and didn’t finish. So not counting 2019.
• Number 57 – wedding album
  I have started but it’s a tough one.
• Number 77 – learn to listen
  Read a book, trying to implement the learnt. It’s hard. But I believe I get better.
• Number 78 – no spend month
  1/3 I count it as one done even though I bought 1 skin care product and two notebooks (all for 0,99€) and which I didn’t need right away but that are now in use.
• Number 80 – learn Spanish
  I need to pick it up again. Not sure I will finish the program by the end of the challenge but at least I am working on it.
• Number 89 – make my hair
  I did, I tried but it’s always the same look.
• Number 91 – learn phone number
  I tried but already forgot again. So let’s do it again.
• Number 92 – reconnect with childhood friend
  Met once. It was nice and comfortable but we have very different lives now. Still need to figure out how I feel about it and handle it.
• Number 94 – Volunteer
  1/3 for the Christmas project with my sis. Hope 2020 is also possible.

Goals to reconsider in the list

• Number 13 – finding people
  Having trouble here. I reached out but was “forgotten” when a meeting was set up. Maybe I am just not that person to hang out with others. I am doing good on my own as Corona showed… Not yet giving in though.
• Number 35 – motor boat license
  Not sure if that makes sense. Most small boats can be driven without any.

The list looks long and I feel like I am on a good path so far. But what is the verdict. Can we boil it down a bit more? Let’s see:

Looking at it this way and knowing more than 1/3rd the time has passed I guess I am not really on track here. But then the whole thing is supposed to be fun. But good thing I checked-in.

Now will you tell me about one thing on my list that you would also like to accomplish?

Happy goal-crushing
