Day Zero Project

meerkat

One of my goals is to see meerkats. I love meerkats.

Well, I’ve been brainstorming my list of 101 goals since this past summer, ever sine I saw my fellow Michigan State PW alumna Kristen start hers. There’s something about making goals (and then getting to cross them off) that I just love. And this is a great way to look at the things I want to do in the next few years—I’ve got some fun stuff and some more responsible stuff both.

Some general notes: I tried to keep my list very specific, sticking with things that could be easily quantified. I also tried to keep it realistic (some people on the site want to travel to about fifty different places and learn fifty new skills). I’m sure I won’t meet every goal (that’s a goal completed every ten days!), but I expect I will have a lot of fun trying. Take a look at my list, and check back in as I blog my way through the 101 items.

If anyone else is doing day zero, I’d love to see your list.

    I can help with 56 and 78 simultaneously :-)

    That is an incredibly enticing offer. Too bad I won’t be there long enough in June.

    Have you though about knocking off 72 and 73 by donating blood to the Red Cross? Assuming you care about the Red Cross, which maybe you don’t.

    @Lauren
    I feel like I should give blood since I needed a transfusion as a baby to survive, but my immense fear of needles make me pass out when the doctor takes a tiny vial of blood, so I’m not sure, at least at this point in my life, it’s the best idea for me. One of these days I’d like to, though.

    What a great idea to put together this kind of list (and more importantly, put a Due By date on it, so it can’t be pushed back in favor of other things).

    @Cheryl
    You can set up your own list at dayzeroproject.com. It’s been good so far. If you make a list, let me know!
