World Domination Checklist

World Domination Checklist Featured Image

Welcome to the World Domination Checklist. Here I chronicle all my goals on my way to total world domination. You gotta start somewhere! To save you some time, I’ve organized each set of goals by theme. Then, each table is sorted alphabetically by achievement.
