#DayZero: The 101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge

The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (i.e., no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e., represent some amount of work on your part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities. source: about day zero project

I saw one blogger who split her goals up into categories. I’m stealing that idea.

Coming up with 101 things to do is hard! I’m not really into traveling and I do most things I want to do… not to sound bitchy. I’m an impulsive shopper; hence the financial category of this list.


I will add things to the list as I think of them. [Note to self: I'm scheduling this to post on 2/15/2016 and there are 71 things on the list.]
