MISSION 101 in Random Public Stuffs

I was excited to find this while getting my stuff ready to move!

Back in OD days, there was a “challenge” called “Mission 101”, where you wrote down 101 things to do within 1001 days. For every thing you didn’t do, you had to donate $5 to a charity of your choosing. The goals were to be all different levels of difficulty.

So, when I went through my list, I found some I didn’t do, and some that no longer pertain to me. The ones that no longer pertained to me (i.e. romantic getaway for second anniversary) I crossed off. Surprisingly, there were only nine items on that list. I went through and marked off the ones that I DID do. Finally, I wrote down the ones I have yet to do. Out of 101 things, I didn’t do 24 of them.

I’m also having trouble thinking of more to do. So, I’m giving myself until May 01 to come up with the other 77. I give myself three years, from April 01, 2019, to finish as many as I can, though some are time-sensitive, like a hockey game. Also, some are financially difficult, especially when I’m not working full-time and tending to my Mama during this time of medical craziness. I will make it a point to check-in with this list every three months. Unless it’s a major check off the list. LOL

For now, this is what I have.

  1. Buy a sewing machine and learn to use it.
  2. Design and make an outfit.
  3. Learn how to set up spreadsheets for budgets and projected goals.
  4. Read a non-fiction book every month.
  5. Get WITCC paid off. (College housing bill of $1,200.)
  6. Take family on two trips in a year. (First one done: 04/05/19.)
  7. Practice meditation once a week for six months straight (April to October). (Started.)
  8. Set up an account for ArtSplash $10 per month. (Started 4/18.)
  9. Send out one holiday card, birthday card, and a “just because” to my PBers who want one.
  10. Watch a sunrise/set with each of my children.
  11. Spend an entire day with each of my children, entirely present. (No phones!)
  12. Go for a night time walk once a week during Spring/Summer.
  13. Visit THREE different (NEW) planetariums with my kids.
  14. Visit THREE different (NEW) art museums with my kids.
  15. Buy a good, quality laptop.
  16. One crock pot dinner a month, starting May.
  17. Update resume.
  18. Go to a Red Wings game! (Doesn’t start until October.)
  19. Take kids to a big event of their choosing.
  20. Check out a RenFaire.
  21. Get a will done.
  22. Get a tattoo.
  23. Mardi Gras, baby!
  24. Get a passport.

So, there we are. Again, I need 77 more. Any suggestions?
