So I’ve decided that since the past couple of months haven’t been the best (and that is an understatement especially for the month of October), that I’d revise my 101 goals list and slightly “restart” it. This isn’t to say that I’m making a new list—I’m just going to go through and revise, reorder, and possibly remove some of the goals that I actually may not accomplish (because lets be honest—I don’t see myself taking up jogging any time soon).

So my original start and finish dates were:

Start Date: January 1 2018

Finish Date: September 28 2020

My new start and finish dates:

Start Date: January 1, 2019

Finish Date: September 28, 2021

The only goals that in theory will be “starting over” on are the ones that have specific number of days (such as taking vitamins, writing in my journal, drinking water daily), as these are some of the tasks that I’ve really fallen behind on this year.
