    Rubbish Audit #1

    Note: I am privileged with time, education and resources that allow me to make choices that are not available to everyone. Each of us has to make decisions based on our circumstances and values. You can read more of my thoughts on this topic here and a related quote. So, this post is me doing me; I encourage you to do you … always thoughtfully, of course! As part of my sustainability goals, I have on my list to “do a rubbish audit and then reduce rubbish by 25%.” Last week, I did the first part, which was to audit our rubbish. The idea is to see how much rubbish…

    101 Things in 1001 days: 200-Day Check-In

    I started my 101 Things list on September 11th 2023. I’m checking my progress every 100 days. At the end of the first 100 days, I calculated that I was 11.73% complete. Let’s get into the next 200 days, shall we? For days 100-200, I completed 8.22% of my list, which means I’m 19.96% through the list. I might need to get a wriggle on over the next 100 days.

I’ve decided to do an update on my progress every 100 days. I even marked the dates on my calendar. Here goes: I calculate that as 11.73% complete, so on track. Do you have a 101 list/bucket list? What are the things you like to do or would like more of in your life?

    101 Things in 1001 Days

    The other day I was reading blogs and came upon Tobia’s post about her 101 Things in 1001 Days progress. I’ve done one of these before and it reminded me of all the reasons why this format is so helpful. It involves long-term goal setting, but not too long-term. Being longer than a year, you get multiple chances to hit seasonal goals. There is plenty of room for a good mixture of goals. It’s just right for people like me who love somewhere to aim but are OK with a less-than-perfect hit rate. I pretty much immediately decided that I was going to do this myself. I had a bit…
