101 in 1001

I'm well past due to updating this post so I decided to keep a copy of the old version within my blog and update the actual page with a new 101 in 1001.

Not sure why I never thought to put my 101 in 1001 on a page itself instead of writing a new post every time I accomplished something. From now on I will post that I've completed something and you can check here to see my completed list to date.

This is my 3rd version of 101 in 1001. I finished most of the things on my 2nd list sooner then I had expected and so I decided to make another list.
Not familiar with the 101 Things in 1001 Days project? Check out this website.

The Mission: Complete 101 pre-set tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable, or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of effort on your part).

Start Date: July 22, 2013
End Date: April 18, 2016
