Ryan breaks down exactly what a 100 Life Goals list is, where the idea came from, and how to build your own — starting today.
This isn't a complicated system. It's a brain dump, a timer, and a living document that grows with you.
In this episode:
- What a 100 Life Goals list is and why 100 (not 10 or 50)
- The book that started it all — The Three-Word Journal by Randal A. Wright
- How John Goddard inspired the concept
- Ryan's own list from 2015 — what's still on it, what's been crossed off, and what changed
- A simple step-by-step process to build your own list today
- Stephen Covey's "sharpen the saw" categories as a framework
- How to use the list once you have it
- Why it's okay to change, update, and remove goals
Your challenge this episode: Get a piece of paper or open your notes app. Set a timer for 20 minutes. Brain dump every goal you can think of. Don't categorize yet — just write. Come back to it if life gets busy. Set a reminder if you need to.
