101 in 1001

In 2009, I stumbled across the 101 things in 1001 days project. Being a list-oriented kind of person, I set about to writing mine and knocking off as many goals as I could. I'm working on my fourth one right now! To save on blog space, I'm keeping a master list here. This will be updated periodically as I check on my progress and as I complete more lists.

The Grand Master List of 101 in 1001 Lists
1. Lost in the mists of pre-blog time; spanned sometime from 2009 to 2012.

2. July 1, 2012 – March 29, 2015. This one is a sad and weird and wonderful list. Over the course of this list I lived in three different countries and held two different full-time jobs (not simultaneously, obviously!) in addition to running my Etsy shop and busting my hump on four different freelance side hustles. It was tumultuous time of my life but I wouldn't change anything about it.

3. July 3, 2015 – March 31 2018. This is the first 101 in 1001 that I started and completed in the same place: the same country, the same city, even the same apartment. It's notable for being what I was focusing in my life when The Election happened. You know. That election.
