While doom scrolling through Pinterest, I came across Steve Harvey’s 300 goals list and 101 goals in 1001 days. After spending days working out goals (I found 300 goals are very hard to come up with), I finally have 300 goals.

Though after spending all that time getting to 300 goals, I couldn’t condense to 101 goals. So I figured, why not make a hybrid and try for all 300 goals and see what I have completed at the end of 12 months (Steve Harvey concept) and at the end of 1001 (101 in 1001).

This is more for me personally, but since my sister told me she wants to look at more than book reviews 🙂 Here we are. To be held accountable to the masses.

So take a seat, follow along, or if you wish to challenge yourself and join with your own lists as we attempt to complete 300 goals or as many as possible (Since travel is restricted due to hubby’s health at the moment)
