My Second 101 in 1001

A few years ago I decided to come up with and complete 101 different tasks over the course of 1001 days. It was very interesting to measure my growth and compare how my priorities changed over that time period. And because it included my transition from college to the "real world" there were a lot of things I discovered didn't really apply to my life anymore, seemed daunting and ended up actually becoming a part of my regular life, and those that were still slightly out of my reach.

Last week I decided to go for round 2. There are a few repeats from last time, but I tried to come up with mostly new, exciting, and very obtainable (but challenging) tasks. So here's to checking off more of them than I did last time :)
