101 in 1001 Aftermath

Unlike my first list, I totally lost track of the end date of my second 101 in 1001 list. In all the craziness of my March and April I forgot to check on the list I set up at the Day Zero Project; turns out this list was over on March 29. Oops!

I did about as well on this list as I did on my first list, and only because I made some softball, list-related goals part of the list. Like: finishing writing the list, updating about the list, commenting on other people's lists, and so on. In total I finished a solid 60% of my tasks, which is not so bad but also not as good as it could be. 

Life is still too hectic for me to write and commit to a new list right now. But I'm going to continue with it after I get back from my trip to the US.

If you're curious about what I did and didn't do this list, it's after the jump. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can read up on the 101 in 1001 challenge here. I encourage you to give it a shot! I'll probably post later with tips and advice for a good 101 in 1001 experience. Feel free to share your own experiences with 101 in 1001 in the comments, too!
