Name:Basal W
At the prompting of a friend, and on reflecting on my "passion planning" progress for the past 2 years, I'm starting a list of things I'd like to accomplish in the coming years, both as a way to figure out how to keep track of things on which I want to make progress in the face of chaos, since pandemic tossed all former expected priorities aside, and as a place to put things that come up as ideas when inspiration strikes.

List description:
"101 Things in 1001 Days is the brainchild of Michael Green, a blogger and developer from NZ. He created a list of tasks to achieve within a defined period, and the idea quickly spread around the web as a tool for helping people accomplish their goals...1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities."

Categorization will likely change as the list grows, but such is the nature of a dynamic pursuit.
(Marking in bold items in progress.)
