While many are making their New Year’s Resolution list, I’ve decided I’d rather update and continue to work on my 101/1001 Challenge. I first blogged about it here and, if memory serves, I’ve not thought about it since then. That changes today.

If you’re not familiar with the 101/1001 Challenge, it’s simply this: to complete 101 tasks in 1001 days. I started my first 101/1001 Challenge (then called a Mission) July 12, 2008 and ended it on April 8, 2011. Since then I have moved blogs (a few times) so I no longer have that list, which makes me a little sad. BUT my second 101/1001 Challenge started the following day… I have since added to the list, bringing the total tasks to 101, and updated it to show which tasks I’ve completed so far.

Start Date: April 9, 2011
End Date: January 3, 2014

Completed tasks are bold and in progress tasks are italicized.
Those with an * in front of it are from my first 101/1001 Challenge that I did not complete.
