Passed 100 park cleanups this weekend without realizing it
I keep a tally in my phone every time I pick up trash at the local trails, and Saturday I hit exactly 100 without even noticing until I checked. Has anyone else found themselves accidentally hitting a milestone they weren't even aiming for?

To be honest, I used to think tracking that stuff was kind of pointless. I mean, why count how many times you pick up a soda can? But reading this actually made me see it differently. There's something to be said for realizing you've done good things just by accident, without even trying to hit a number. It seems like a nice way to see your own consistency over time without putting pressure on yourself. Your mileage may vary, but I'm kind of rethinking my whole approach now.

Wait, who's the real winner here - me with my accidental tally or the trash that keeps reappearing like a bad sequel? @the_dylan, I swear if I ever hit 1,000, I'm framing the tally and having a ceremony with a single soda can as the crown. Honestly, it's kind of funny how a number you didn't even chase turns into your proudest brag.
