Day Zero Project

The Day Zero Project - or 101 in 1001 - is a goal setting site.  I got the details from Amanda at Eat to Live, Live to Run.  It is basically like the 43 Things site, but it gives you a timeframe to meet your goals.  You set a list of goals (I went with the 101 goals) and you have 1001 days to do it, or 2 years and 9 months. 

I have set my start date as at April 4, this Sunday, because that give me an end date of my 40th Birthday.  So in the next 2 years 9 months I have a list of 101 goals I want to achieve.  Some are big, some are small, some are silly, some are fun, some are serious.  But they are all things I want to do.

In no particular order, here is my list of 101 things.

Wow, are you serious?

This might be a blog for Friday when I have a lot of time on my hands, so look out for Fridays blog, lol.

And, the do a Triathlon one... THAT'S THE ONLY GOAL I READ!
Nah, kidding, the 100 things about Ross is a good idea, I might have to steal that for Superman.

I am not sure I can think that far in advance though! I mean almost three years is a long time for me, because really, I can hardly think 6 months in advance, lol.
(yes, an excuse!)

Jess I have been working on the list for about 2 weeks. It is really hard. I already had a 43 things list that I have been working through for about a year, but there are a lot of things not on this one because I know it won't be possible within the time frame.

I am a list person so this really resonated with me. Give it a shot - you might be surprised at what you come up with!

Wow Kylie - that is fantastic. I'll check out the website but it will take some time to do the list as you said. Not sure I could do number 90 though - Mr Laptop goes with us on holidays even.

Kylie said...

I can not wait to do number 90 Linda. Camping is already no computer but we are going to start making it no phones as well, even when we are in range.

Em said...
