61 in 1001

Okay, so...you're probably wondering woah, Hayden this is not the old school 101 in 1001 you've done the past five years. What is with this puny 61 number? Well, I'm here to say I could never do the 101 because I found myself forcing myself to come up with 101 in things to do. And then those things I chose didn't bring me joy as I attempted to complete them over the course of the three years these lists take. So...I decided why not make the list more achievable? And focus on more goals that mean more to me? That brings us to 61 in the same amount of time. You'll notice some of the old goals but with higher numbers (instead of 50 books, it's now 100, etc). Because I want to challenge myself in the right areas in the next two years. And I think it will work — but we shall see. What do you think? Is 61 tougher goals more doable than 101? — xoxo darling, Hayden
