It’s been a while since I’ve checked this blog post. When I first published it, I would check back on this every week to see what I can accomplish. Probably about 2 months in, I stopped checking and would sporadically check it if I remember. The start date was November 17, 2017, and the end date was August 12, 2020. It’s been about 6 months since the end date and I’m ready to update you all on this.

* This post was originally published on November 17, 2017, and updated on February 26, 2021. 

101 Things in 1001 Days

101 Things in 1001 Days is essentially what it means. These are 101 things I would like to accomplish within 2.75 years.
