101 Things in 1001 Days | Did I Succeed?

On the 17th September 2018 I shared a blog post about doing 101 things in 1001 days. Today marks the 1001 day point.

It’s come around quickly and I’m surprised by the results. Out of the 101 things I thought I would have a go at achieving I managed to achieve 48 of them.
