I enjoyed this Guardian piece on a personal quest that was fulfilled during lockdown. This was a fun and creative challenge that was set by Gareth Wild to himself.
He parked his car at his local Sainsbury's and noticed that he tended to park in the same few spaces and wondered whether he could park in them all at some point. This was where it got detailed, as he made a spreadsheet which identified each parking space with a code and then changed colour when he parked there. Spaces were also rated, all 211 of them.
The quest ended up taking 6 years.
It's a reminder that there are small personal explorations everywhere if you have the eyes to see them. They can be part of your everyday routines.
We tried to provide 100 of these in the first 'Mission:Explore' book, and lots more in subsequent books.
