In the past, the 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge was pretty prominent on blogs. I remember when many of my friends online were creating their own lists to share. I've completed the challenge myself multiple times, although never completely.
I last completed one in 2015, and wow. Life feels really different now compared to then. I wanted to try the challenge again, but this time more realistically and as a motivator to do things I enjoy in life.
If you also completed the challenge in the past, or are thinking about doing it now, I would love to hear how it goes!
