I really enjoyed putting my list together and found it easier to group my choices into specific topics. That way it's easier to keep up with what I've done, what needs to be done, and which areas I could focus on.
Below is my updated list. I have written next to each item if it has been completed or started. I have made a couple of amendments which you can see on the list below.
Are you taking part in this project? It's so fun to do and to put together, with plenty of resources online if you need inspiration for your list.
