I'm not going to complete this list. Not this time around, anyway. And it bothers me to no end. I'm trying to decide whether to keep going until the original end date (28 June 2010) or do a hard re-set and start again. Day Zero had mentioned something about "if you start your list on 5 April 2010, the last date will be 31 December 2012", which somehow has a nice symmetry to it.
Either way, I plan on making another list. I have discovered that although the things were very cut and dried, with little to no vagueness, I'm thinking that not having several steps to one thing is the way to go.
In any case, here's where I am right now:
