101 in 1001 ideas - 700 Day Update

I can't believe I'm over two thirds of the way through my 101 in 1001 ideas day zero project, I've loved doing this but it has shown me just how much can change across 1001 days in regards to goals and dreams, it's important my 101 in 1001 ideas change with me and goals that don't resonate any more are written off.
