The Next 101 Goals List

Hi, I notice there's still quite a few followers and subscribers for this blog and I'd love it if you could update your follows and feeds to my new spot on the web, Alex In Leeds.

Since I moved over at the end of the summer I have written all about successfully completing the 101 goals I set myself in the 1001 days between 01JAN2009-29SEP2011. I've posted about finishing off the travel A-Z goal, flying a plane for the first time, walking 100 miles across England in a week and attempting to make vegan pain au chocolat with the Daring Bakers. Amongst other things. Finishing ALL the goals on time, with my sanity just about intact was just the most amazing thing ever. If you want to see the list and read about how the goals worked out, here's my 2009-2011 list with all the links. :)

I took a two month break from the end of the 1001 days to relax, celebrate and then re-assess... And I decided 101 goals in 1001 days is too much fun to complete only once. So I am about to do it all over again!

Yesterday was Day 0001 of my 01JAN2012-28SEP2014 adventure, wish me luck! 

I have another list of 101 goals to work on for 1001 days and it's all about putting what I learnt into practice, making more adventures and life experiments. You can read the 2012-2014 list here, it has info on all the new goals. This time they range from writing a book to trying stonemasonry, attempting to avoid supermarkets for three months to doing C25K. There's also two big projects connected to my new job that I set goals for. 

I hope you'll join me over on Alex In Leeds, the address changed but the adventures are undiminished. :)

As ever,

Alex

The Future of 101ofawolf

When I started this blog in 2008 I thought as far ahead as 1001 days. It seemed a wide, open horizon that encompassed everything. And it was more than enough to be gleefully dealing with.

But over the last few months as I have been racing to complete the last of the goals before my 29SEP2011 deadline, I have been trying to think of ways to continue my 101 blog beyond this list without having to lose the memories and posts gathered here already.  Blogger is okay with 101 different tags to separate posts but there is no easy way to manage 200+ tags or break everything into two tabs for current list and the previous one. In the end I realised the best way to do it was to shift platforms.

I'm now at Alex In Leeds and will be continuing to finish off my 2009-2011 list before the end of September... and then starting the next adventure with my 2012-2014 list which I am just starting to really pull ideas together for. 

I've added all the historic posts over there and there's a bunch of updates to  come soon - taking a flying lesson, visiting a distillery, other goals I've completed while this blog has been quiet and of course all those plans for the next 101 adventure.

The Alex in Leeds site is now going to be my permanent online home for all things 101 - past, current and future. It'll also be the home of a couple of my other blogs, the vegan food one and the book journal so if you were interested in those that's where they can now be found. It's all split out into nice easy tabs at the top of the page so it's easy to jump to what you want to read about. I just need to tinker with the RSS feeds tomorrow so you can subscribe to specific bits.

I hope you'll come find me over there. :)
