Can somebody please remind me what date the 1001 challenge ends? It should be soon shouldn't it?

How are people going? If you were to do this challenge again would you do anything different?

I'm pretty sure it's the 28th.

I pretty much failed at my list, I am re-doing it, with more realistic goals. I realised the 'do this twice a week' was just silly, so I think I could re-word it 'do this as often as possible' or 'do this more than I usually would' - I know neither of those statements are really challenging, so I'm still looking for something that isn't a figure set in stone, but that will still make me put some effort in and push myself.

Here's my list. I completed 64 things from it and am very aware that the end date is a week from now, but I don't consider myself a failure despite not doing 101. I managed more than half and have about 30 "in progress" items where it's clear that, without the list, I would not have accomplished nearly as much without it.

A year in I actually revised my list, removing some things and adding some new ones, since my circumstances had changed (I ended up moving internationally in Nov 2008, which I hadn't known was going to happen when I wrote the list). I ended up with a list with more than 101 things that I could choose from to try and complete at least 101 of.

I kind of got distracted from the list about halfway through, though, so I thought maybe next time I'll just do 50 things in 500 days.

I pretty much abandoned my list and started a list over on 43 Things. Life changed so much in the past two years, many many things on my list became impossible, and many more just stopped being important to me. I'm liking having a shorter more flexible list of goals.
