101 Things in 1001 Days

So I have recently started journaling and stumbled on this idea when looking for journal prompts. When you're in school your goal is to make it to the next graduation until you enter the real world. Once you have that job, it's day to day survival. Where are the goals? Promotion? Don't get fired? I'm sure they are there, just less prevalent for some. I like this idea for setting some serious and not so serious goals.
