June has been a slower month than expected and a couple of items that I had hoped to cross off didn't get finished. Having said that, I did finish three goals and I made some good progress on a couple of the goals that are going to take a good while and plenty of effort to get through like my reading goals, so I'm not unhappy with how the month has gone in that respect. Honestly to be at the point of 25 goals completed after the first 6 months is pretty solid progress.

Progress = 25/101 completed, 35/76 started, 41 remaining

This month’s completed goals

1. Walk at least 10 miles a week for 2 months (8/8 – 21 June 2025)
2. Watch 30 documentaries (30/30 – 28 June 2025)
3. Declutter cupboard under stairs (June 2025)

May wasn't a bad month progress-wise. I've finished another 4 goals, two of them were crafting goals, so it's allowed me to start one more goal and turn focus to others of the ongoing creative goals, similarly with my reading goals, I've finished one, so I need to focus on some of the other aspects of reading that were already started.

I'm 5 months into this challenge period and so far I've completed 20 goals and have another 29 ongoing. Over the coming month, I'm hoping to finish another 2 crafting goals by concentrating on just 2 projects and then also finishing one reading and one health and future goal. There is a possibility that I might have an opportunity to make significant progress on another goal, but in case it jeopardises the chances, I'll keep quiet about it for now.

The full list can be found here: List at my journal , but in brief:

Progress = 22/101 completed, 29/79 started, 50 remaining

This month’s completed goals
1. Latch hook cushion of hearts (18/05/2025)
2. Scrapbook 1 of travels – Russia – Mongolia (27/5/25)
3. Listen to 20 books (science fiction/fantasy) (20 /20) (02/06/2025)
4. Watch 10 new series on TV of any genre (not including programmes counted for one of previous) (10/10 1 June 2025)

I needed a little break after the end of my last list, but I'm back for the next!

My main desire for this one is to finish more of my goals than last time, so I tried to make sure there were at least a few goals that I know I'll be completing in the next month or so. Hopefully a strong start will help me continue at a good pace! I dropped a couple goals from previous lists to lower counts with similar hopes that they'll be easier to complete. I can always do more i I want or up my goals mid-list! I also have some multi-number goals that I'm not starting from zero. I've already counted the things I've read/watched/etc., which isn't to say I won't reread/rewatch them for this, but I want my concentration to be more on completion.

Anyway, fingers crossed for this list to go well! It's starting tomorrow and tbh I'm feeling very excited for it :)

2 months have passed in my latest iteration of my 101 in 1001 list and things are going remarkably well. Due to some health issues, it has been a particularly good time to work on both the water drinking and the walking goals - which makes up for other things moving much slower. I'd set myself a goal of painting the bathroom ceiling and was surprised to get home after being released from hospital to find that a family member had very kindly and equally unexpectedly done that for me - which was amazing.

For full list click here.

Progress = 7/101 completed, 25/95 started, 69 remaining

This month’s completed goals
i) Repaint bathroom ceiling (Feb 2024)
ii) Drink at least 1 litre of water a day for a week (7/7 – finished 14 Feb 2024)
iii) Declutter bedroom (Feb 2024)
iv) Walk at least 5 miles a week for 2 months (8/8 – finished 1 Mar 2025)
v) Drink at least 1 litre of water a day for 2 weeks (14/14) - finished 28 Feb

I've been working on my new list for 1 month and although there are other things taking my focus at the moment, I'm pleased to see that I'm already making some progress and unexpectedly I have actually finished two goals already - 1 was deliberate in that I focused on that specific crafting goal so that I could finish and pack away the associated clutter, the other I wasn't expecting to tackle so quickly, but actually got an invite from the hospital a few days after posting my list to take part in the screening so I did so which meant that it also got crossed off. Not a bad start for the first month I think. I'm pondering where to focus for the next couple of months.

For further details the list is at this link.

My last 101 list ran out of time in early November 2024. I managed to finish 61 of the goals with a further 13 partially done. I've revamped what was left of that list and added some new goals and so have decided to start again as of yesterday.

So starting from 5 January 2025, I have until the 4 October 2027 to complete my new 101 in 1001 list. I'm going to try to post monthly, with a goal that updates need to be at least bi-monthly. For more details of the list see the post in my journal.

Not with a bang, but with a whimper... I've put the full list under the cut. Completed tasks are italicized and underlined, and everything else is a fail. The complete rate is honestly very low, but I completed three more than my last list, so I'll count that as a win!
