New years resolutions have never worked for me, which is why I love the idea of the 101 things in 1001 days challenge. It can include anything you wants, from lifestyle changes you want to make, to things you've wanted to try but never got round to. My list ends in Autumn 2025, which seems like a while away, but time does fly! Below is my list if you want some ideas for your own - and sharing does feel like there is some accountability to stick to it (at least as much as I can)
