if you've never heard of the day zero project, before you read this post, you may want to take a quick trip over to their website just to find out about the idea behind the project i'm currently working on. i'm not going to explain to you why 101 in 1001 and why not bucket lists or new years resolutions, because literally, it's all explained on their website.
if you've heard of it, those two silly and similar numbers in the post title are probably looking pretty familiar to you, and it probably instantly clicked in your head ("ah, another one of these, damn it", maybe was your exact thought, but yes, another one of these!). my best friend decided to start on her day zero project recently and it made me remember the not one, but two abandoned day zero projects i had begun (one of them was shamefully recent, but i just wasn't interested in like, half of the goals anymore, so it seemed to make more sense to me to just start fresh).
so two days after she posted hers, i started mine. i set the start date as the day i even conceived the idea to start, without even completing the list first. i thought, this is more genuine this way. so all of my dates i'm about to list were taken from her, and we're going to pray she calculated them all right, otherwise i'm either giving myself too much time or stealing precious time from myself, because i just added two days to everything. i had to wait to post it until i had completed my list, so here we are, a little over a week later.
Start Date: June 19, 2014
250 Days: February 24, 2015
500 Days: November 1, 2015
750 Days: July 8, 2016
End Date: March 16, 2017
everything that is in bold is completed. anything in italics is in progress. dates of completion will follow completed tasks. anything that requires more information (maybe a what or a how many complete so far) will be listed. i'll try to keep this updated at least once a week, but no promises.
